Aurora with Calculated Starfog

Nikon Z8
20mm 1.8 @1.8, .8s, iso2500
Adobe noise correction

I loved shooting aurora, but I missed having the visual impact of stars that a fog filter provides. I had Claude create a program that would identify stars in a photo, then add a fog effect based on actual star brightness. I'm still trying to gauge how aesthetically beneficial it is, and how much it registers on the cheatometer. Unfogged photo included for comparison.
