Won't be able to for a few hours. I'll see what I can do when I get home.

Yeah, what are all these white specks? Zillions of hot pixels?! Suggest aggressive denoising to remove them all!!1!!one!eleven
On a more serious note. The blending around the 360 degree seam is screwed up. This makes it an eyesore in a pano-viewer. This is a complete mystery to me, how you can taint such a nice image with such a mistake. --

Just to add that I prefer the original, I think the contrast between the sky and the colors is more pronounced.

P.S. I support either. Edit1 is clearly better if one bothers to zoom way in and meanders about looking at the telescopes. My vote may be added to the larger consensus for either picture since I find both to be suitable for the intended purpose as an FP.

Hmm, I thought edit 1 was part of the April 1 joke, but perhaps not. To clarify, I support the original version, but very strongly oppose edit 1. The "noise" is not uniform, and much of it is from fainter stars. Zoom in on the Small Magellanic cloud, as just one example, to see how crippled edit 1 is. --

I wouldn't like to disagree. When I'm home I'll change the edit to de-noise only the features on the ground and leave the sky intact.

It's fine, :) If it was an April Fool's joke, then it was Muhammad's on me.

Now I support either version, and prefer new edit 1. Thanks again. --

Comment Both variants very nice. I support both, but edit 1 is tiny better --

Suspend so I can fix my edit.

Comment on edit: Considering Avenue's comments, I've altered the edit so that the ground only is somewhat de-noised and the sky has been left intact. Please update your vote if this changes your preference, though it looks like the original is in the lead anyway. Thanks,
