I am trying to learn about stacking for Astrophotography and this is one of my first go's at using DeepSkyStacker. Really pleased with the comparison to any individual frame and looking forward to progressing onto dark, bias and offset frame stacking as I learn more about AP. There are some amazing images on here and when you know about the work and effort involved you can you really appreciate what you're actually looking at, on a whole new level, I am in awe of those able to produce such inspirational images, to you all I doff my cap!

Much to learn I have but get there I will!
