Just my 2 cents...

Thanks for your input. If you look at other peoples shots of the region you'll see that the light pollution is well blown out and you can't even see any of the stars above the town. My goal was to shoot it like you would be seeing, so that took a different technique.
So I agree the lights of the town are a bit distracting but in my image you don't get the light pollution dome into the night sky that reduces the details of the stars above. Eta Car is visible in this pic right above the town. I've printed this at 1.2 meters and I love the detail in the town and the glow of the lights against the trees in the town. With over a 2gb file size there is so much detail in the image but a pain to stitch 72 images together that make up the final image. Was 92 but I had stitching issues
Thank You for your input though... Just wanted to give you some insight as to how I wanted to shoot the location
