Starry Night 2 At Zion

Thanks for your ongoing support and for your understanding re fillers. My back is slightly better today so I am hoping to be able to get my camera out later.
This is another shot taken the night I got up in the middle of the night camping in Zion. What a sky! I don't understand what lit up the rocks in the background...moon? or was it simply how long a shutter speed I used. Opinions?
Lovely detail in the sky. The Milky Way shows nicely here. Moon or starlight will do that to the features that are in direct light line in long exposure. Beautifully executed. Fav.

Such a gorgeous shot. I suspect that light is from the long exposure. Fav

A magic sky. I suspect there was a little moonlight over your shoulder. I really need a new higher-ISO camera.... sigh.

@jonfrank Nope...decided there were plenty of other lovely hikes to keep us busy

Absolutely beautiful! Great work. Processing those is sometimes kind of difficult but you balanced it nicely. :)

Considering this was taken during a new moon it's not moonlight... I'm a little surprised by it too, honestly.
