Image looks much too dark on the LCD monitor at work. Have to be careful of brightness/contrast when processing in future. Image was cropped roughly 70% of original .

Well done indeed.

Very stoked! I also did 10 x2mins ISO400, 5 x2mins ISO1600.. but only did a quick process with 10 x 2mins@ISO800.
I'll have to reprocess tonight, and take some quick darks as well. Though I should have done this on the night, to eliminate hot pixels/noise.
Lots of detail popped up when I was playing with Levels and Curves, though with a color image I had trouble balancing the colors and darkness right. Have to practice image processing some more.
