Oh, I'm a bit late for this one!
I'm going to give my vote to the second one, the blue one Keith. Reason being, the lower left of the yellow one looks like it has a lot of noise in the shot, or even an artefact of light pollution attempted to be removed. The blue one looks more noise-free in my opinion. Also, the yellw one appears to have way more purple stars in it.
Just my thoughts. But regardless, it isa picture to blow up as large as possible and be proud of!
