Wow alright. Certainly a wonderful shot.
I wish they'd put more technical detail in APOD to tell you have they did it (for this and all of them).

Great image! :eyepop:

Cool and very innovative.

Star fields during total Lunar eclipses have been photographed many years before , but at this scale and depth?! Nah...

....a well deserved APOD!

[leon]

Although it dose look pretty good, it is totally ruined by the names placed within.
