A True Image from False Kiva
This digital mosaic shows the night sky as seen from False Kiva in Canyonlands National Park, eastern Utah, USA. Diving into the Earth far in the distance is part of the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy. Much closer, the planet Jupiter is visible as the bright point just to band's left. Closer still are the park's picturesque buttes and mesas lit by a crescent moon. In the foreground is the cave housing a stone circle of unknown origin named False Kiva. The cave itself was briefly lit by flashlight during the exposure. Astrophotographer Wally Pacholka reports that getting to the cave was no easy trek. Also, mountain lions were a concern while waiting alone in the dark to record the mosaic.

Wow, Utah is good for something?

A Milky Way backdrop to a stunning display of Bioluminescence.
Taken on the 1st January 2009, from Camp Cooinda on Banksia Peninsula on the Gippsland Lakes in eastern Victoria. Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism, Algae in this case. http://www.philhart.com/gallery/Astrophotography/Phenomena/

Cause more often then not, astro-photographers use long exposure settings and mulitple photos combined to capture more light. The human just isn't as powerful.
