Starry Starry Night!

Challenge #14 in the The Creative Light Painter! series. Hosted by Lihkin.

Challenge has finished

Let's see your favorite shot of the stars. For the purpose of this challenge you can submit shots of stars and longer star trails- however, the star trails/ stars must be clearly visible. Please don't submit an image where you have moonlight or daylight/ twilight washing out the stars. We don't want to see just a little smattering of stars, but a whole lot of great stars against a dark night sky. Please ensure that there are no animals or people in the photograph. All complaints related to entries in this challenge, must be made during the submission phase. Once the submission phase ends and voting starts, complaints will not be entertained. Have fun!

Additional rules:

The theme of this challenge is 'Stars'- you can submit photos of stars and also of star trails
Please don't submit images where you can just see the stars very faintly or can just see a few stars. Let's see the stars against a dark sky, so that they stand out
Please don't submit images taken at dawn/ dusk or with the moonlight washing out the stars
No animals or people please
Please don't submit images with a frame (that detracts from the image) and/ or a watermark (the voting is intended to be on anonymous entries and placing a watermark gives you an unfair advantage- or even disadvantage if people want to vote your images down)
