Taken between clouds last night

Again, 20 second subs for a total exposure time of 13 minute and 40 seconds.
ISO 1600
ICNR on.
Since getting the 20d I've always captured in .jpeg.
This is the first time I've used RAW data.

Why did I take so long to change over?

I've pushed the processing heaps to bring out detail, maybe too much?
Looking forward to adding more data if/when the clouds nick off.

Canon 20d
SW ProED 80
Mini Tower (alt azi mode)
PhotoShop CS3 (cropped, curves, levels, saturation)

Nice image JJJ. The ED80 seems to be doing the job very nicely. Your focus and guiding looks great. Well done.
