I think the trouble is once you get it down to size it will be to small to notice the details.

not much small detail other than the tracers coming from the 51. so im not really worried about it.

You won't be able to see the 51 nor the tracers. I think it will be black, blobbish looking.

edit: All you can see is the moon at 50x50 pixels.

And this, boys and girls, is why we don't have night time.

It will resemble a stray drip from my truck's last oil change.

it is 80x80 and it doesn't get much better even at that.

Don't think sig has a size limit.

as stated the night shot loses a lot of details.  That's max brightness and fooled around with the contrast for about 15 seconds.  If you've got  GIMP you might be able to take the raw file and do more with it or if you had a daylight shot of the same situation you could edit the sun out, paste the moon in, and blah blah blah... I'd consider it but my desire to do any photo editing lately has been, frankly, non existent :)
