As if from a long gone time.
The sky looks familiar, is it Luminar?
Nope !
It's a stock image.

Possible, where Luminar got it from, this nebular has been used many times for sure and still is beauty :)
Go to Unsplash and type in "Milky Way".
You'll be spoiled for choise ...

This, or I use my filter Glitterato :))

I do have Luminar - but the 2018 edition and I don't use it for anything nowadays.
The reason was that there was no other RAW-editor at that time that could read RAW-files from my Olympys TG-5.
Now, if i use that camera, i shoot in jpeg, so I can edit them in Photoshop or any other image editor.

"This, or I use my filter Glitterato"
Yes, but Photoshop is quite capable of doing nebulas, planets and starfields.
Takes a bit of patience but the result is top.
I would do that instead because then I can decide exactly how I want the outcome to be .. :)

I love this old movie style render :)
I can't even tell, how old my Luminar version is and I barely use it and if, just for fun for myself.
"I love this old movie style render"
I am an old fart ! :)
The oiginal Luminar I got in 2018 did its job well.
Converted the RAW-files to PSDs. The update did some funky sheit and converted the files to garbage.
So I kept my L 2018 as is, but I was never interested in Luminar Neo...
Normally I used Canon's in-house software to convert the CR2s.
It also allowed me to shoot tethered (for studio use).
And it was free (if you had a camera serial number) !
