Oh, how wonderful!
I am really curious about one thing- about the original-if its okay for you I really want to see it!
Can u give me little hints about capturing the stars so good?

Thank you, I'm glad you like it... as for the "original" your pretty much looking at it, just some minor contrast adjustments applied to make the milky way "pop" and I darkened the lower half a tad to compensate for the moon bursting through the rocks. We have very clear pollution free skies here in Northern Queensland also it's very dark with few large cities which is why the stars are so bright and clear... I don't do anything special to capture my stellar images I just happen to be lucky enough to live somewhere that allows you the see the most amazing night skies. My only suggestion is go somewhere very dark and as far away from the city as possible on a new moon, take a nice heavy rock solid tripod and make sure you camera is fixed down to it nice and tight so you get absolutely no movement. Good luck!

You are trully lucky!
Thank you for the answer!
I have just one more question if its okay!
I can see that the shutter speed is 30 seconds, and my question is, how the stars didnt move for that time? I did a photo of the stars with a shutter speed 30 seconds and for that time they moved a lot.

Notice the lens I used... it's a 15mm fish eye... generally the wider the lens the longer you can shoot before any movement is noticeable.
