Dude, you got some imagination, I amire you for it and really look forward to seeing more of your photos in challenges cause if you can divert this much imagination on your own challenge entries, I think you should be up for a ribbon in no time :)

@kablinki... dude, you need to do a lot better research on what's possible with a 5D and a 24/1.4L. This shot was very minimally processed. Every bit of it is real. And yes, I've seen the original, so I do know of what I speak. You simply don't know what you're talking about.

Definitely a photoshop deal, and not a very good one. There are several aspects that give it away, but the number of stars you put in are ridiculous. When you have an exposure that was long enough to capture this many stars (and apparently a couple of galaxies and nebulas also) you would have to have the darkest sky imaginable. An aurora at the same time would bleed everything out. That's why you usually see very few stars, because the aurora can outshine most of them. The moon can be out at the same time, but the aurora is always on the northern horizon so the moon isn't in the shot. Even so, anything close to a full moon makes it very difficult for the aurora to shine through.

The uniformity and distribution of stars is also a dead giveaway. You may have used an actual shot of stars as your background, but it was taken through a telescope of a much smaller section of sky.

Aurora is brilliant, but paleeeeze show us something new. ughhhh
