Just a straight up star shot at 25 seconds. This was about a hour before the Moon rose and washed the sky out to a degree. Right in the center there is either a faint meteor trail or satellite... I was actually surprised at the outcome, however was hoping for a bit more definition of the Milky Way.

love the crystal clear sky of AZ. interesting shot that shows how small the Earth is. I wonder if you lowered the ISO to about 200 and decreased ss to 5 sec or so, if that would give you the brightness you want, it would do away with the small star trails. Bob
OH, and more importantly, where is Tumbleweed AZ. Arizona has the best small town names, but I have never heard of Tumbleweed, thanks again.
