I agree that is the best policy.  In my post in question, however, I was
not addressing anything in the image, but only the use of "helluva" to
describe an image of the heavens.  It was simply a feeble attempt at
unrelated humor.

I like the one you say is close to what one sees with the eye the best

The trick is to choose what to post.  I had thought that this deep into the 
discussion everybody had seen the original.

A friend (from the Netherlands) on another list asked how much of the Milky Way 
can be seen by the eye.  I did a quick side by side of one of the better 
frames, some might find it interesting.

Sorry, going back to the top of the thread:

A friend wants to buy a print of my night time panorama of McWay falls.  She, 
however, did not want the moonset in it, so I started by building a panorama 
that had all the frames that didn’t have (much of) the moonset, and processed 
it using lightroom 11, rather than 6.  We then discussed what crop she wants 
and this is the version we’re getting a test print made of:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/51902320923/in/album-72177720296910491/

It is amusing because when I started looking at the stitching errors on the 
horizon I realized that it wasn’t lightroom messing up the horizon, but rather 
waves.  Or if it is stitching errors they’ve been blurred out enough to look 
like waves that it was better to leave them.

The full, uncropped panorama:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/51900856343/in/album-72177720296910491/

For the curious an album with various different treatments:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72157671581813407

Even with 64G, a modern GPU with its own 8G of ram and LR 11, the system does 
tend to bog down a bit when doing detail work on a 160 MP panorama.


And all four albums with different attempts at processing these photos:

Thanks, and like so many “keepers” the story behind it is kind of funny.  I 
wanted to do a sunset shot from the campground we used to stay at when I was a 
kid, but the ranger shit bricks since I wasn’t registered to camp there and 
wouldn’t let me stay a little past sunset so I could get the shot.  Stopping at 
JPB was kind of a spur of the moment “lets see if I can get something from 
here” sort of thing.
