 Two exposures, one with telescope drive on, one with drive off. Merged as layers in photoshop to give sharp stars and sharp trees.

I wish I understood what you are saying in the notes, but it's an awesome shot.

I am going to state first that I am not any way a astrophotographer, but I think you did a great job with this photo. I love the lens choice you used for this as it gives so much of the beautiful sky. Excellent light control as well, the exposure is evenly lit, especially with so many elements within that radiate light.

I really like how you have some elements of the ground to relate to as we look into the heavens. The sharp trees give a feeling of a nice clear night, and a couple people outside just stargazing or camping.

I also like the glow of the clouds at the horizon area. It gives the feel of either the sun still setting or the sun begining to rise. It just really adds interest at that point and outlines the trees really well.
