My first attempt at this type of shot, overall I'm not too disappointed, but I have some work to do on this technique.
-Cloned out a power line pole in the background
-Burned some areas on the edges because they were distracting
-Increased contrast
-Increased saturation in the blue channel
-Conservative use of NeatImage
-USM

Congratulations for your top twenty finish. This photograph is awe inspiring and worth emulating. In any other challenge your score should be in the top 5, even top 3 but there are so many strong entries this time. Hope to see your work in the winner's circle soon!
In whatever way you did it, I like the way you have picked the centre of movement. Looks different to what I have seen so far of the stars. I think it makes more interesting and better than just pick an area and point at the sky and leave it open for hours.
All the best.
