Great to finally see a new site! As a long-time user and visitor since the late 90s, this is long overdue despite the fondness I have for the old site. However in particular as a photographer with a few photos on here (not all that many admittedly), the fact that so far no redirects have been put in...

Looks stunning, Thierry. As someone who's got an aurora shot accepted here (below, albeit 8 years ago too), I'd say the main issue you have is noise reduction.
