Camera: Nikon D5000 unmodified at prime focus

Notes:

The imaging site had no light pollution as it was isolated in a valley of a mountain. The only light was a first quarter moon but that was nearly set at the time of imaging. Winds were gusting to 40MPH during exposures with a temperature of 30F and very low humidity. Wind was causing scope to bounce around and blur images.
