Could not have gotten this shot without the kindness of a friend who lent me his tripod, as all handheld attempts that night ended up with very grainy sky. This is one of the few drawbacks of the Canon Rebel XT, when you go high ISO at night, it gets really, really noisy. This is at ISO 100 though and it worked out nicely.

Thanks for looking and as always, corrections are welcome.
