Thirty seconds of the ISS
I'm a catch-as-catch-can kind of photographer. After supper this evening, I was hoping to catch the moon as it rose over the local hill it was hidden behind for an hour after its *actual* rising. But that part of the sky clouded in.
I turned to the NW where the international Space Station was due to show a few minutes later. I jammed the camera to the bathroom window casing and took a thirty-second exposure, holding it tight with my hand.
As psychedelic as the picture appears, with streetlight-lit trees, almost daylight clouds, and reflections from inside the house, I did get the ISS and lots of stars too.

Do you ever process your photos? I'm wondering how this would look if you darkened the tree branches just a bit. But even as is I think it's very cool looking.

To answer your question, yes I do. In fact -- being an old film user and darkroom printer -- I treat every file from the digital camera as just a "negative"; I use whatever processing skills I have to draw the final picture out of that. The "original" picture here was very flat and bright; most of the details had to be coaxed out of the highlights! :)
