Milkyway Moonshine
So while we were up on the mountain to take pictures of the Matterhorn at sunrise etc., there was a short period of time between the moon setting and the sun rising where the Milky Way was visible. The mountains are lit with the last light of the moon setting behind me while the bright part at the bottom is the early shine of dawn.
This is a stack of 10 frames to reduce the noise of the ISO 3200, manually aligned for the sky part, stacked as is for the mountains. Both the sky and the mountains came from the same stack of 10 frames.
If you're interested in image stacking to reduce noise in Astro Photos, head over the the Lonely Speck, Ian Norman has some kick ass Astro Photo tutorials on his site.
