Default new Canon 350D - 8Mp nightscene image

Interestingly the Canon website for the new 8Mp 350D DSLR has a
full frame 3456 x 2304 p sample image [smidgen under 8Mp] at

http://web.canon.jp/Imaging/eosdigit...ightscene2.jpg

that shows a building by moonlight and the Milky Way - but I can't
identify the fieldg. Data on thumbnail.
