The sky was clear when I took this image, so no particular drama. In fact, I took this in my driveway over the neighbor's house. Considering the amount of light pollution, I'm surprised I picked up stars in the background.
This is really nice...and the stars are an extra bonus. It was really clear here, but my camera did not cooperate with my efforts! (blame the camera, of course!)
