Yes those are stars, and airplanes
Thank you very much everyone - it was cold but a lot of fun, I'm glad you guys like them I'll have to take some more!
For this shoot I used my Canon 50D and a Tamron 17-50 lens along with a Manfrotto tripod. I tried some effects with my 430exII but didn't have much luck with it. The best lighting was captured in the last pic when a Jeep was driving past on the ice road - got lucky with that one

It would have been nice to have a flashlight of some sort to highlight the car better as this paint seemed to absorb all available light lol
For pp I used Lightroom to import and manage the pics with some light processing, and then Photoshop CS4 for any edits and touchups, with the NoiseNinja plugin to help with the noise reduction. I always shoot in RAW, especially in these low light setups as it does make a huge difference.
