Holy shit. Where were you? Far away from any kind of city, I'm guessing.

Oh thank you very much!
When took that one I had something like 10 kilometers to the nearest city so not that far away.. It's just amazing what you can get with the f/1.8 aperture within amazing body (K-5 II) and LR.

That's pretty impressive for no stacking. What ISO/aperture/shutter speed did you use? I want to try for one of these this weekend when I'm in Arizona.
