Greg,

Wow. The second version does show more detail, but the first one looks more natural and less harsh. My vote goes to version 1.

Overall, wow! What were your subexposure times? Or are these single 10-minute exposures?

Greg,

Very nice work! I prefer image 1 because it is somewhat smoother.

Did you use DDP on these images? If so, do you have a version without DDP? I generally find clusters more appealing without DDP. Somehow, they just look smoother.

Great stuff Greg.

Cheers,
Tyler
