these came out the best of the night. i took the best attributes of each and moved them to the base image for the final result. made sure the black of the sky was the same for all shots...the laso tooled the parts i wanted. when i moved them i changed the blending for the layers to screen so they would overlap. any sky discrepencies i cleared up by changing the blending amount in the blending options for each layer.
