lol. Well analysed!
Many have an account on astrobin.com which accepts more bytes - but it's still in no relation to the amount of time spent and bytes produced before the end result
I like how you played around with the star count (assumably), making DSS detect less stars in the 2nd version. The star count in between both versions would be interesting to see, as well.
From the colour: I like both.
The stars in ver. 1 look more alive due to less clipping of the background.
Your detailed info on frames, gear, and processing is helpful. Did you take any darks?
