I have an old Compaq monitor that is pretty dark. Even on the lightest setting. They show up good on the camera LCD but I can't see much on the bigger screen.

I'm using a digital camera so oil isn't an issue. My battery getting cold, or my fingers at 20 below is tho!
I love the picture. I can not image a night sky that dark to be able to see so many stars. Here with city lights you can count visable ones on one hand. I also ran it through photoshop, and played with brightness. It was so dramatic I had to let you see it. Thanks for the great picture.

I was out at 6:30 this morning. Took that last one about 7 or so. As long as it's dark you have a chance.
