Night Sky in Norikura

Last week I was out at night with some friend and we decided to go look at the stars because it had been about a month since we last saw the stars. I saw at least 5 shooting stars while I was making this photo. I put the camera out on a tripod and then just sat back and watched the stars for about 20 min. I didn’t even look at the photo until the next day because when I left I just put the camera away as it had to process the image for another 20 or so min.

I kind of like this photo because it shows the profile of the Japanese Alps and Norikura in the back.

    It was an incredible night; the milky way was a roadway, and the shooting stars just kept coming.
