I also like the red light arc due to the lens.
It's not framed perfectly as I took this in a little bit of a rush because Alex wanted his tripod back! Thanks for the use of it Alex! I shouldn't have forgotten mine....
Nikon D800E, Nikon 80-200 f2.8 at 145mm, ISO 1600, 20sec. No processing.

Great image and the lighting of the the Dish structures is just sublime. The dynamic range of Nikon D800 is something unreal.
I'll need to give that long f/l a go next year weather permitting.
You did not miss much by leaving at that time - the sky closed pretty much as you left and only opened for a few minutes in the morning.
Cheers.
