Wish I had a dark sky and a telescope
Or even just a tripod. The Pleiades. A 30 second exposure with the camera precariously balanced on an end table on a beach, on Thanksgiving weekend. Brightness cranked way up in software after the fact.

You did very well!
Thanks. It was a fun bit of improvised astrophotography, and neither I nor the camera fell in the lake.
