I'm using realistic sky in this render. Night time,but i didn't roll the ball all the way around because i don't want it pitch black. 

look at the horizon behind the trees. it looks wrong. kinda like the sun is coming up inthe middle of the night. and it's...orange? that's what people with better ey es tell me and i know horizons ain't orange at night cuz i'm not that blind.

Turning on fog kinda fogs up the stars.

Any tips on how to fix?

    looks like your lights are lighting up the cloud.. if it's the cloud you have selected in realistic sky then try turning the clouds off ..

    if you have added the clouds to your scene then use the light settings to tick 'all objects except' then select the clouds from the selection window.

    see if any of those help out... a screen shot of your Instance tab will help to see what you have in the scene. wink

    I think you might be getting some sun on the horizon because in the attachments, you have not checked the box for night.  The check box is towards the upper right of the menu just above the word 'Advanced.'

    Well, that's because it turns the whole sky com8pletely black and I don't want to do that. I need it at least really dark blue, so it can be edited in post to make it more ideal for printing.

    here's my last print. looks good and better in person, except for the sun coming up back there
