This is the same photo I posted earlier today. It was "brightened" in the stock Windows 10 app, Photos. It does show a little more definition of the Milky Way, but I'd like to find out how to bring out more detail and color.
I have the previous version - it has a more complete tool kit than is immediately apparent. The new version may have something similar. If you haven't found it you may need to rummage around the toolbars and tabs a bit.
I shot this on July 28, 2019 with a Canon 5D MkII with a 17 - 35 mm lens set at 17 mm. This was in the desert north of Moab, UT. (The glow at the bottom of the frame are the lights of Moab) I edited it in Photoshop Elements 14. Noise reduction, warming with a little more color saturation, and sharpening. My first Milky Way shots looked a lot like yours until I added some steps in editing.

Beautiful image, James!
I think I counted 5 airplanes in it. Damn airplanes.
We need an "Airplane Filter" for our cameras.
Not sure what you have a previous version of.

Quixdraw, not sure what you have a previous version of. If it's Win10 Photos, what option am I looking for, exactly?
Thanks for any addition light you can shed on it.
