After a strong dose of dehaze in Adobe camera raw, a very slight dodge/burn and a touch green and red hue/saturation into the nebula in photoshop.

Thanks. Always interesting to know how people accomplish what they do. I've made some Milky Way shots, but struggle with noise some. Part of my problem is not having better glass or a full frame sensor, or that is my excuse anyway.

Post the image so I can give it a try. I've seen crop sensors with not so good glass achieve wonders, I still own old both of my old APS-Cs and a lot of glass.

Thanks, I'll send it tonight. If you are able to do something good, I would love to learn better techniques/tools.

Here is a shot I was talking about. Thanks in advance for taking a look at it. This is in the RAW format, out of my Lightroom files, unprocessed.

Excellent! So, what did you do and what software?
