About this image

I took a quick image of the Plough asterism in Ursa Major through some patchy cloud. There was a convenient gap in the cloud that matched the shape of the Plough! I made the image grey scale to avoid the horrible looking orange colour of the light polluted clouds. I've also used a fog filter to make the stars stand out a little more.
