A type of night sky shooting that I really have not attempted before. This scene, around 11:00 pm, is lit only by the 9 day old moon. It is a two minute exposure so the stars (and a hint of milky way) are clearly visible, but otherwise the scene looks as though it could be daytime. This type of image is very hard to accomplish, even by the tough standards of astrophotography. The nearest population center is Klamath Falls, well to the south east. The bright glow near the horizon is standard atmospheric haze which also shows up well under daytime conditions. Bright moonlight scatters in the atmosphere in much the same way that bright sunlight does, and the end result is similar, though the stars still appear in the sky due to the long exposure under night-time conditions.
