Thanks! Unfortunately the noise is hard to control on that camera :(
One day maybe I'll be able to afford something decent! Like a Canon D20. mmmmmmm... D20. |

That would have been my preference, but the camera can only do 15 seconds max exposure. |

Change your screen resolution, or save the pic and open it in your editor, so you can see the whole thing. The two stars at the bottom are the "pointers", and point to the top of the cross - the whole being the constellation.

That's ok - they are blurry dots! The blue tinge is an artefact of the camera - something I can't seem too remove without spot editing. |

| Different than most of the shots in the challenge, which is good in a way. But the image doesn't hold enough to keep me interesting in looking at it more than a few seconds. Also there is a lot of compression artifacts in the "blackness". The image is only 9 KB, if you saved it at a higher JPEG quality it would look better with respect to that. |

| These types of star shots are tough to pull off in these challenges, especially against some of the other submissions. I keep scrolling up and down to try and make some sense of the image, but it really doesn't seem to have any appeal other than white dots on black space. There also seems to be a tinge of blue around the edges of the stars, which makes it seem like blurry dots. I wish I had more good things to say, but I'm having trouble. I like your idea though, so maybe you'll have better luck if you try the shot again. |

| This could be technially very challenging to obtain - it just does not come across as a photo that captures the essence of "late night", or as an interesting photo in its own right. |

| I have yet to get a good picture of stars, good job. Doesn't have a whole lot of interest but is nicely shot. |

| The sky isn't quite as dark as I'd like, and the noise makes it look like an ancient NASA shot, but I'm partial to astronomy pictures, so I'm giving a few free bonus points for that. :) |

| Ahh...lovely simple glory of the stars, especially this constellation which we north hemisphere dwellers can only dream of seeing...Thank you! |

| The idea of taking a picture of stars definitely fits within the bounds of the challenge....but i think that it's an incredibly hard thing to do well. You've managed to fram the constellation well, but the black of the sky looks almost pixelated or cloudy. |

| In my opinion, this is the perfect example of a photo that meets the challenge, but is pretty dull and not interesting, and probably won't score so good... Maybe being a bit more creative next time... Anyway, nice try and good luck. 3 |

| Thlat's nice. I always have trouble getting my stars to show up when I try to take pictures of them. These are right there -- all sparkly and everything! |

| Hard for any star shot to impress a viewer these days. Hubble shots have ruined it for us ground dwellers. |
