Thanks everyone for the feedback. I will take some of the suggestions and have another go at editing it and see what i can come up with.
I did struggle a little with the bright street lights just to the south of where i was shooting and the resulting very warm light pollution that resulted. I guess that is part of the reason i chose the white balance that I did. Any warmer and the whole lower part of the sky lit up a bright orange. I also liked how the light from the artwork seems to be illuminating the bulk of the Milky Way in that relatively blue light. As i said, this is probably the first nightscape that i have been particularly happy with. My old D90 just didn't cut it once you stepped up over about ISO1250. I did do a few shoots earlier in the year down at Wellington Dam near Collie in the south west and then up at the Pinnacles a couple of hours north of Perth but didn't get anywhere near the detail i got with this shot.
As far as details go this was a 30 second exposure at f3.2, ISO 4000 with my d800 and 14-24mmf2.8 lens.
Now i really want to find some good conditions to get out again and do some more in places where light pollution is not such a big problem and i can get the white balance a bit more accurate.
