Quite Nice. I don't know Luminar, but with Photoshop you can "burn" the bright house light down or even remove it leaving just black shadow in its place.

Thanks. I’ll have to figure that out. I think there is a way in Luminar too.

We had fun that evening! I’m waiting for a new moon to do more Milky Way shots too. I posted 3 today.

Nice, and the focus is getting closer.

Thank you! Easier to focus on the Dipper than the Milky Way mass!

I like to find the brightest star and do a live view and get as close as possible. Some people think you can put it on infinity, but not every lens is that accurate. Also there are vast distances between the moon and the bright star Sirius. You have to play with it on several shots.
