Normally these guys run away when you approach them, but for some reason this one stayed put. This is not a composite, but all done in one shot. I set up my tripod and used a flash to illuminate the crab at the start of the exposure, after which I quickly pulled focus to infinity to to expose for the stars for the remainder of the 30 second exposure.
