Not really with the naked eye since the eye is not sensitive enough, but with a camera yes you would absolutely be able to take pictures like that if there were no light pollution (in fact those are real images being used there taken from dark skies).

If you ever get a chance, travel to some place with very dark skies and see just how much there is to be seen.


Wow! Even though you would have to use a camera that really amazes me :O . I know that when i'm in the country I see alot of stars, but there's always the pollution from nearby cities.

I definitely wan't to travel to some super dark place sometime, and if I do, i'm definitely bringing a good camera. biggrin

Sad that I missed that one, but great that you both saw it and could share on camera!

I was up before dawn today and noticed the old crescent moon with earthshine. I could never get tired of seeing earthshine in twilight. smile

Those are quite nifty shots. If I tried anything like that here they would be bright orange/brown images with no stars sad

I have various old aurora shots lying around. Here a few from Svalbard:




At 78N it's dark around the clock in mid winter. These following photos were taken around noon, but when the moon is up, it's reasonably easy to see things:




The last shot is from Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Which has an awesome view of the night sky. For this shot I directed a regular 80mm f/1.4 lens towards the center of the Milky Way and exposed for 16 seconds using 400ISO film, and I was pretty amazed when I got it developed. The naked eye can see some of the details, but not variations in colour.
