Galactic Center stacked
Galactic Center stacked. Experimented with stacking multiple exposures to reduce noise and increase detail. Definitely increased detail. Need to work on the noise reduction some more. I shot these without a tracking mount a couple summers ago at Observatory Park in Geauga County, Ohio. The stacked version uses 5 light frames plus 5 dark frames, 15 sec. ISO 4000, 24mm f3.5 stacked using Sequator (my 1st time) and processed in Lightroom. The trees along the bottom were layer blended in Photoshop from a single exposure.
