That is stunning! When on holiday I love lying down and looking at the stars. Can't see the stars too well where I live, too many street lights etc. :sigh:

Air rifle? (I am not advocating the damage of public property that is left pointlessly and wastefully illuminated at night.)

Those domes are way to thick to be taken out with a mere air rifle. You need at least a .22...
.45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

How would you take a photo like that? Surely you would need a long exposure, but the stars move over a period of time blurring them. So you would have to track them to keep them sharp but then the tree would be out of focus? :confused:

Take a long exposure, guided photo of the sky, then let off a flash to illuminate the foreground, or alternatively take two and merge them together.
