Yikes! It looks like I need to recalibrate my monitor. After uploading this and viewing it on another monitor, much more detail was visible, including more noise as well as my poor job of burning the porch light at the lower left. This is not a composite - just a bad masking job while using adjustment layers on the sky and foreground.

Nice capture of the milky way. Too bad too much light pollution for the gegenshein.

Yes, composites are fine for this challenge, but IMHO this one is too obvious. There is a perfectly striate line between sky and foreground. Its a nice try, I love the the galaxy for example, but you could have done better.

foreground is unnecessary

could you have done a longer shutter speed, lower ISO to reduce some of the noise? although its a great shot as is.

Light reflections on the atmosphere distract from the sky beauty.
