Cool. The satellites (?) are a nice touch. I wonder how it would look if you turned down the stars a little and turned up the darkness.

Thanks. I wanted to make the stars the main point of attraction. The foreground was lifted a bit, it is sand dunes and vegetation, just included to provide some sense of scale. One of the traces is a satellite, the other an airplane. I was lucky because they ended up one on each side of Polaris...
