Milky way over "my" mountains

[Lander_corleone (Leanndruss)]

Last friday I went to take some pictures of “my” mountains with the Milky way over them.
I’m quite happy with the result.
I would like to share with you in this “play raw” section.
If you play, you will have to deal with the color contamination on the mountain. The main idea is to enhance the milky way and the mountain.
This is what I got with (fresh) Darktable 4.0:

Thank you for sharing this great image. I doubt that your rendition can be improved upon, but here is my play in GIMP.

@s7habo, do you want to play? I would like to see your magic.

Version 2 with lowpass boost.

Black and white version can help to highlight both the mountain and the Milky Way:

But I find the sky in the second version made by @Thomas_Do much more beautiful.

Your sidecar doesn’t seem to have loaded all the way.

[Jean-Marc_Digne (jmdigne)]

I reloaded the XMP sidecar file
thanks for the remark
