Louie - the dew was amazing and when I went into the observatory this morning everything had a moist coating on it still. It would have been impossible out in the open.

Can I just suggest you back off on the sharpening a tad though? Currently it looks sharpened, you need to get the sharp look but without the black halos around the stars. I would redo it and for the hard sharpening lasso and feather the the dust lane areas only, avoiding the stars, then apply much less sharpening to the stars...or something along those lines
