I imaged this on April 17th in Binbrook Conservation Area. I met up with the gang there for some casual observing. We all had a nice time and there was a pretty good turn out. FOr this image I was really hoping for still waters so that I could get a reflection of the stars but the wind started to pick up as the night wore on. Anyway, this comprises of two 20 second frames taken with the Canon 40D and Sigma 17-70mm lens (17mm@f2.8) on a tripod. The two frames were only used to give more vertical depth to the scene.
