Milkyway Photo Edit in Darktable

I am going to do a MilkyWay photo edit in Darktable. This is not scientific. The aim is the get the most out of my photo and make it the best and most beautiful I can. It's shot with the Panasonic Lumix s5 original with the kit 20-60mm at 20mm 3.5 iso 12800 and an exposure time of 30 seconds. So there is some noise in it which has to be resolved, but the Lumix S5 files are quite robust as you see... I'd like to still point out that this is an artistic image and I hope it inspires you to try new things and start learning. Darktable is great! As for the sound part I did a "white noisy" synth sound with subsynth in Yoshimi (ZynAddSubFx) for the short MilkyWay timelapse. Check it out here:

And I used that MilkyWay -synth sound in Ardour and created some tonal "blobs" that I then formed into an atmospheric soundscape. Love Yoshimi! Ardour is a great tool too!
