Chaco at Night

I thought I'd look through the countless thousands of RAW files I have and start processing them.
First up is one I shot at Chaco Canyon, New Mexico a couple years ago. It was a nice moonless night and about as dark of skies as you can get in North America.
This was processed from a single image, not a composite.
Nikon D600
Samyang 14mm F2.8 lens
F/4
25 second exposure
6400 ISO
For some reason, the Flickr photo look much more grainy and not a good representation of how it looks in Photoshop.

I like the image and the composition.
It seems like we keep using higher and higher ISO to shoot stars - I remember lots of star shots at ISO 1600, or even 800 at times. But now almost all of them seem to be north of 3200 ISO, including my own.
