I was outside a bit after 10 PM and noticed the Big Dipper pointing to the North Star. I was able to set up my tripod on my deck with the Canon 5D and the 24-105 lens and with a shutter speed of 15 seconds toget an image. The urban sky did produce some light pollution which I fought in Lightroom by boosting highlights and making everything else darker! A bit later the earth had rotated and I was about to lose me view so I got another! CLICK THE BLACK SPACE TO VIEW!
