Luminance wise it is identical to
here but with some butchering in the end just for the sake of it

I made it very smooooth after some serious noise reduction. Right now I am trying to find a decent way for me to replace the stars without leaving any nasty artefacts. I got close last night but I think I may have been a bit aggressive in the star removal.
Probably a bit too much green removal too

Ok... let's see version 16

Was getting a bit late, far too late to start afresh so I figured I may as well just see what disaster I could get myself into

I think I need more than ~2 hours per channel.
I actually don't mind the softness, if only I can find a good way to get the same softness without losing some of the whispy detail. Maybe not possible, gotta do something with all this cloud though!
I'll be into the Version 16 before the end of the week
