Nice image Ron. Here is the same area I took in Maine a few weeks ago.

Great capture, Don! Maine has some really dark skies, especially in Arcadia.

Thanks Bill,

yes, it was a single exposure capture taken with my Canon 60Da on tripod with a remote shutter release.
Taken at Chatham at 11:22 pm. The exposure was 25 seconds at ISO 3200. Lens used is the spectacular
Rokinon 14mm f2.8 fully manual lens. Captured in RAW @ 18MP I converted the image using Adobe DNG
Converter 8.6 and then post-processed in PS CS4.
