Too tired to spend the time it'd take to remove the dust bunny party here.. It's a tedious process in Gimp. Happy to make you feel good about your relatively clean sensor! Forgot to do full white balance correction here too... argh.
This is with CPL and 3 stopper and black card.. Once again my 10-stopper ruined some longer exposures (3 min)... Weird reflections invariably turn up... I have to assume at this point that my 10 stopper is bad and need to get another one.. (My 15 stopper is ok at least.)
If I had more time I would blend up bits from all the shots (brackets and LE's) that were taken and make something better, but that will have to wait.
Might as well list all the things annoying me here that I can think of.. Rawtherapee has a bug as of late that strips the GPS data out of the exports otherwise it'd be showing here. Was going to go put it back but too tired. Also the silly thing with the K-1 not keeping the correct time is back again so the time is an hour behind on this shot.. Oh and my CPL is stuck in my Laowa filter adapter. And my sensor stick is coated with crud and not sure what to do about that (not sure if I can wash it and still use it again).
Love the streaky sky - knew straight away what lens you'd used and pleased to have you revisit this site. Much you could do with this, but I totally understand your disinclination and your rant was suitable tradeoff anyway!

Epic rant and quite justified. But wait 'till the cat hairs get into your camera/lenses. (Only joking).
