There's a cosmic quality about this picture Scott - can you realyy see the stars like that ? It's super.

@Nigel: This is the exact same image taken over approximately 1 hour - each image - 20 minutes apart - the stars are so bright in the higher elevations that I can only process the image used for the sky portion to get a small portion of the stars to show.

A gorgeous night sky, where fairy stars meet orange glows of the sun in the distance. A powerful scape itself, a misty blaket covering gently mountain tops. It's a pure wonder. Divine. A round of applause for you Scott. You're definitely talented.
