Looks great! How was the area from where you were shooting

It was pretty dark.. this was taken in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas (about halfway between Sacramento CA and Lake Tahoe) at about 9-9:30PM. I was near a house which had a fair amount of ambient lighting which made it difficult to get my exposure dialed in properly.

I was also getting 3 or 4 hot pixels the longer I was shooting. I wasnt aware that LR auto corrected these so I stopped prematurely I think. Probably could have gone longer and tried some different lenses and techniques.
