From my heavily light polluted urban skies it is still possible (with inexpensive equipment) to capture the grandeur of one of our nearby neighbor galaxies: Andromeda (aka M31).
For more see details at Flickr.
To learn how to do this yourself, see Astrophotography 101 - a webinar you can attend from anywhere around the world.
And here is a comparison in size between Andromeda and the Moon… surprised?

Who knew you could take pictures of galaxies you can’t see with your eye (in the middle of a city without a telescope!)

Famous Tree →
Tom Lowe (overall winner of Astronomy Photographer of the Year, 2010) won with a similar shot of this tree. He’s also done some fantastic timelapses that will make your jaw fall on the floor. This is my take on the same tree.

Lost in Yosemite →
5 of us went for hike up Half Dome for night photography and sunrise. What we came across was an ill-prepared pair of cold, defeated hikers in the dark.
Click the link to read more about the story. I do hope they are safe!
Hikers summit Half Dome in strong moonlight with headlamps blazing. For details how this was created, see here.
