It makes me wonder what the night sky would have looked like with little air pollution and no light pollution. We'll never know.
Thanks for the photo.

yeah light and air pollution can be so frustrating. We love to get away to the cleaner, darker country skies when we get the chance.

My only criticism would be the crunchy stars. Perhaps a slighter sharpening routine, or masking the stars to sharpen the rest of the image may help in this regard.

Keep it up.

Thanks H. Yes I agree too about the crunchiness and feel a repro coming on. I tend to get sucked into that trap.
Thanks for your comment.
Cheers.

Thanks Carlos. Can't wait to get back. I didn't get to half of the locations I wanted to.
I found this spot as the family was exploring the area. I noted that is was a reasonably safe location to get to when it was dark so added it to the mental list of sites to visit.
Cheers.
