That's a cracker Capt. Tell us about your settings and gear then your processing please.

Thanks S&P. D750 through a Rokinon 20mm f1.8 @ f1.8; 25 seconds (+/-) @iso 1250. Three frames, each in landscape.

Ran each through DXO Pure Raw using the "deep prime" mode.

Imported into C1. (no presets)

Stitched the 3 using, IIRC the cylindrical projection. Final DNG was 141MB.

Edited in C1
WB 4502
Exp. +.97 stop
Cont +25
Sat +17
Shad + 25
Clar +36

I think that's it. Nothing done in the color menu. Just healed a number of bright spots caused by fireflies.

I did not take them with the intent of stitching them. But I had done a couple of others recently and it occurred that I had these raw files so I decided to play a bit with them.

Thanks again for the compliment.

Thanks for that. Same camera settings I would have used, I need to play with your processing method sometime. D750 was the best I've had for night work.

C1?

Nice one.
