Thanks. Not really magic: this type of camera captures more data than the human eye can see. I biased the exposure to preserve the bright details of the clouds, but the extra ability of the camera to capture detail in dark areas allowed me to adjust ("develop") the image to bring those details out.
I am amazed at the information you pulled out of that dark photo. You ended up with a beautiful picture- it seems like magic.,

Still, amazing!
