Are those planets, hot pixels, or planes? In any case, good job with the lighting here- there's plenty of detail int he sky!

Hi Adam - if you mean the two objects above to the right of the moon, the brighter is Venus and the dimmer may be Mercury. They're not planes or stuck pixels.

The moon and the planets/stars are slightly elongated by the 30 second exposure.
