Shot this last night in Tuckahoe, NJ. Tried alot of different settings and tried to keep the exposure time low to avoid the Earth's rotation. C&C welcome.

Re: Big Dipper
Nice catch Steve! Not sure if you noticed, but if you look closer at the second star
down the handle, you'll see a second star right above it. That is Mizar and it's binary
companion, Alcor. Native America's used to test their vision acuity based on ones
ability to see both of these stars naked eyed.

Re: Big Dipper
Like the shot. I'm surprised that you did not get light pollution from Ocean City.
Did you try noise reduction software? If not, it should help remove the noise.
