On our way back to the car and of course we passed York Castle again.

The stars are truly there however, I'll admit assisting them a touch as they were a bit fainter than what you see here. Just a case of using the Dodge tool to brighten them up a bit.

    Nice! I like the overal exposure. The castle has not been blown out. The stars certainly look bright. My only slight critique is that the moon is just a tad to bright, but probably not a lot you could do about it.

    Thank you for the comments all.

    I agree, the moon is a little blown out. It has been suggested that dropping a cheeky nicely exposed moon in there would be of great benefit to the shot. As much as I would like to do that, I'd prefer to go back out, take one shot of the moon correctly exposed, a shot of the castle as is and blend the images :)

    Well if you can do that, then by all means, try it out!
