Awesome capture!
Is that rain coming down and did lightning strikes light up the bright portion of the image? Is that the picture as shot with noise reduction software? Can you post the original image as it came out of the camera so that I/we can see what you were working from? Single exposure I'm assuming by what you wrote where I usually have to do a much longer exposure to get the stars to show up like that. I'm not in the mountains but I consider most of Arkansas where I'm stuck to be the boonies. I am not super experienced at photographing night time skies so I'm always looking to learn more. Not real sure on the photo stacking concept yet.
Thanks everyone. Was definitely one of the most humbling experiences I've had so far. I don't think we said a single word to each other the whole time, almost like talking would scare the moment away.

If you look to the left of the lightning bolt on the right, you can see one of the lights. Guess I should also mention that my white balance was set to "daylight".
This was a single shot @ 30/sec. If I had been shooting stacked images of the milky way like I was originally planning, they would have been 15-20 seconds apart @ 17mm to avoid any type of star trail. other than pushing the blacks to 7 and adjusting the contrast, noise reduction was all that was added. There was quite a bit of noise.
Here's the shot straight out of the camera.

Adobe, give us courage to edit what photos must be altered, serenity to delete what cannot be helped, and the insight to know the one from the other.

Was there any sign of Charlton Heston?
