Starry Starry Night

I don't know if there's a song title challenge, but that's the song that came to mind as I was down on the beach trying to capture the crescent moon. I never did see it, but instead was able to catch the Milky Way. Though I suspect there's a lot of noise in this scene!
Popular title for the song Vincent by Don McLean.
Amazing, fav

This is a gorgeous capture of the stars! Love the color, clarity and the sharp focus. We just did a stargazing night in the (freezing) Atacama Desert on July 4 where we saw a magnificent Southern Hemisphere viewMilky Way.
Unfortunately, my shots weren’t in focus but maybe I can
July 7th, 2019  
Ahhh. I can hardly wait until I don’t have to stay up so late to shoot it

A humbling view... beautiful colors. I'm impressed that there is such little noise in this shot, given the ISO. We are just flea specks, after all. :)

Absolutely awesome, yes there is a song title challenge. It is Vincent and I love Josh Grobans version. You should definitely tag it as it is a fabulous song too :-) Fav

Very nicely capture. A scene I hope to see for myself one day, but there is so much light pollution that I'll have to search for a dark sky site.
July 9th, 2019  
And a WOW from me, too! Spectacular!

Amazing! I haven’t tried astro photography yet, but it is on my list. BTW, I was just watching a Blake Rudis f64 video and he talks about a guy from Chicago who does this different technique for post processing of b&w images. His name is Jim Welninski. He has a course Black and white artistry and also some free youtube videos. You should check him out.

@moonmtn I've heard of Welninski from other photographers in Chicago but haven't had a chance to check him out yet. He seems to be very well-respected. I didn't know about the You Tube videos so thanks for the lead on that! Astrophotography is a lot of fun (and probably even better if you now anything about the stars and constellations, which I don't!). I find that it's all about finding places with no ambient light and an external shutter release, and setting the focus for the distance before shifting to manual. The settings are pretty straightforward.

GRAND capture...Fav
July 10th, 2019  
I long to see the Milky Way! Not much chance in the UK with too much light!
July 11th, 2019  
Wowy catch! What an impressive universe you’ve captured and we live in! I love this song. I used to sing it during my younger years with our school choir. Great memories come to mind ;)
July 12th, 2019  
love that sky packed with stars in all those beautiful blues. It is quite incredible.
