I couldn't see flying saucers on any of them!

Interesting.  Thank you people.  I had felt that in general the first version was a bit 
"over spiced".  I'm trying to find the right balance between making the image 
pop, and overdoing it.  If you look at other photos in the collection, there is a lot of 
light pollution close to the horizon, and when saturation and vibrance are dialed up a 
lot of swatches of green and magenta noise in the sky in general.

The new version of lightroom does make it easier for me to duplicate and modify 
masks, so when I get a chance, I can try a version with more saturation, 
contrast and clarity in the milky way.

Is there consensus that I should also bring up the exposure on the foreground?  
I did create a mask for the snow on mount Shasta, which I had dialed down a bit 
from the previous print.

I'd have to agree with Mike - the 889-pano is more pleasing to me than 
NR-HDR-Pano.  The milky way is better rendered and being able to better see the 
horizon and landscape add to be overall image.

I decided to have a go at another one of my photos, trying to take advantage of 
new features in lightroom.  It is an HDR panorama (at 15 and 20 seconds).  For 
the new version I did a lightroom noise reduction of each of the frames before 
doing an HDR pano stitch.

I believe this is my previous version that I used for printing:

This one is my current "best try":

I've learned a fair bit about using masks in the process.

All of my processing attempts over the years are in this album:

I would appreciate people's thoughts about what improvements the processing 
might need.  Is there anything about any of the older attempts that worked 
better?

  Thanks,
    Larry
