Nice shots, I prefer the 2nd but I really like all three as a series. Can you provide exif data for the shots, and what lens you were using ? Oh, btw I noticed your avatar, nice to see a fellow Firefly fan was a great series.

I like the ambience in the sky.

Was the high ISO to avoid a longer shutter to reduce the movement of the stars?

hmm shiney. (my firefly quote for the night)

lovely shots, though I know I've spent too long in the newsroom when I see AWB for auto white balance and think of Australian Wheat Board instead. :p
