Pawnee Pleasure Dome

I had a great time last night out at Pawnee National Grassland here in NE Colorado. Perfect clouds, great moon position... only one problem-- I shot jpg instead of RAW, doh! The red lights on the bottom are from the Cedar Creek wind farm.

Image Notes: This is a two shot pano stitched in PS, one of my first panos for night photography work. I also shot this with long exposure NR turned off as I was shooting a series to use in a time-lapse movie. NR was applied in post via Noiseware. Normally I would use a dark frame, but since I shot jpg I didn't feel like spending much time in post.
