milky way over the lake house

I had some dark skies, well relatively speaking for NJ, so I took the opportunity to do some night photography. Here is one of several I did.
This is a 4 shot vertical panoramic taken in landscape orientation.

Exquisite. The reflections of the stars make me think of fireflies skimming over the water. Beautifully done.

As I said it is a 4 shot capture.
The "bottom" foreground shot was at f3.5, iso 160, for 13 seconds. The other 3 were shot at f2, iso 1250, for 15 seconds. The reason for the lower iso and shorter exposure on the bottom shot is, because of the lights which were on at the lake house, if I exposed it the same as the "sky shots" it would have been completely blown out.
I processed the RAW shots in Lightroom and stitched them in Photoshop Elements 13.
Hope that helps.
