I spent three incredible nights, August 10-13, 2015 at the Berlin–Ichthyosaur State Park In central Nevada. The campground area sits at close to 7,000' (2,100 m) so even in the heat of August, the evenings were very cool. I generally had to break out the jacket around midnight. Quite a relief from the Las Vegas temps in August. I had three DSLR's running pretty much all night from around 10pm till 5am every night so I had a ton of data to deal with. This image was taken in front of the main building of the ghost town and is a composite of about 10x 20 second exposures with a little light-painting on one of the exposures.

Awesome picture, with the Perseus double, M31, and M33 clearly visible. You really were out in the middle of nowhere!
Nicely done,

Yes, Bortle 1 skies for sure. So many stars it was a bit disorienting. And skyglow every evening.
