Moon rays and Leo

[saturn5]

Went to take some star trails but forgot my lp filter so as the moon was just rising took a 3min exposure which was still orange.Couldn't be bothered to get rid of the lp so converted to B&W.

Hi,

Tell me this. Is this one image or a star exposure and a forground exposure. It's great. It must be a very dark site if it's one shot.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Its one shot and not a dark site either,well not dark by Hicksville standards,its right on the edge of the town and would have been in colour but forgot to take my LP filter with me.Believe me it was orange.
