Lyrics:

Astronomy Domine
(Barrett) 4:12

Lime and limpid green, a second scene
A fight between the blue you once knew.
Floating down, the sound resounds
Around the icy waters underground.
Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda
And Titania, Neptune, Titan.
Stars can frighten.

Blinding signs flap,
Flicker, flicker, flicker blam. Pow, pow.
Stairway scare Dan Dare who's there?
Lime and limpid green
The sounds surrounds the icy waters underground
Lime and limpid green
The sounds surrounds the icy waters underground.

Wow, didn't even know this was a PF song. Would like to see this just a tad sharper, but the stars are lovely. 6.

It wouldn't accept my comment a minute ago so let me try again (sorry if you get two).

There's a lot of noise - NeatImage would probably have helped. I would also have cropped out the tree on the righthand side, and possibly have cropped the bottom a bit more b/c the reflections are distracting. Finally, I think it would have been nicer if the contrast were boosted a bit.

Good work to get the amount of stars you captured and without star trails. But I think the sky is to noisy. Its typical when you take a long exposure of the sky with high ISO but I think a noise reduction filter would have helped alot here.
