ChromaKey,
I don't have the patience to do the post processing you are doing. Maybe you could get clearer, less grainy images with that kind of effort. I'm not blending images, as the one shot with both crescent moon and the comet sure shows.
My approach is quick and dirty. On my computer's default photo viewer for raw files, I increase color and brightness, then save as a .jpg. I then open the .jpg in the Photo Viewer bundled with Microsoft Office. In that I adjust contrast and color focusing on midpoint value.
Years ago I had Photoshop 5, which I found rather time consuming to use. I suppose you could set some parameter so that if the brightness value of a pixel was below a threshold, it would be rewritten as no brightness. This would be contrast on steroids, but would preserve relative brightness between pixels above the threshold and would suppress graininess.
You are orbiting above us ground pounders.
