I’ve been patiently waiting for a clear night and conditions were perfect last Friday. Cool temps and open skies. Pharaoh Lake is a great place for stargazing. The Milky Way is visible from the northern end of the lake. The crescent moon had set about an hour before I took this photo.

Thank you, very nice! Was this a single exposure or was it stacked w multiple images? Whats the light source beyond the lake – moon rising?
Thanks! This is a single exposure iso 1600 at 30s f3.5.
I think it’s Lake George village but I’m not 100% sure.. the crescent moon had already set behind Pharaoh Mountain
I understand the effort involved in framing the cosmos with a beautiful foreground. Finding the right place at the right time is quite a challenge. Bravo for the great image!
