That's a really nice picture. I bet that you had to drive out a distance just to escape the light pollution from a nearby city. Thanks for sharing.

Actually, it was taken from my back yard.


I'm in the suburbs at about a Bortle 5. This kind of imaging just needs a LOT of long exposure (5 minute) shots stacked together to bring out this kind of detail.
