Taken from the peak of Uetliberg, a Swiss mountain plateau next to Zurich, using a Vixen Polarie, a device that helps to even out the rotation of the Earth. Exposure time was about 90 seconds at ISO 50.

This is not only among the most impressive photos on this very impressive site, it ranks among the most compelling photographs I have ever seen. It greets me when I turn on my PC each morning, and I thank you for this contribution to my day.

Dominic, I don,t know whether this was a "you were there at the right time" photograph, or a "that might make a nice photograph", but whatever the reason, this is truly magnificent. Possibly the finest and most interesting picture I have ever seen. You have excelled yourself this time. The only gripe is, I don,t like the stars, so I have removed them for my own personal use.

This wallpaper is great. I put it with a rainmeter skin and submitted it to Lifehacker's featured desktop forum. I don't win anything, but this one will get a little more notice. It really deserves to be seen, it is stunning.

This is the most amazing photo I've ever seen. It's going to be staying on my desktop for a LONG time. Great work.

Thanks a lot for your compliments! This device is really amazing. I can't wait for the next clear new moon night and perfectly align the box to the polar star (which was impossible this time due to a huge cell tower blocking the view). Then, it should perfectly even out the earth's rotation. Next stop: Matterhorn (but closer this time)

Dominic: This photo is STUNNING. "It's my new wallpaper" doesn't do this justice. Excellent work, Sir! Doug

This shot blows me away. I made it my wallpaper and stared into it for 20 mins straight, at sunset. A meditative experience. My breathing slowed down, my heart rate slowed down, and I became deeply relaxed. Bravo!

This is one of the best photos on this site, IMO. It's absolutely gorgeous, and the stars look sharp with the motion compensation, despite the long exposure. Another winner, Dominic. Thanks for sharing !
