Just the Stars

A bit more software experimenting, this time using Deepskystacker.

This works in a different way to Starstax which layers up multiple frames for startrails. This one aligns the stars, making them brighter, by adding one on top of the other.

A side effect of this action is that it loses a lot of the other rubbish that is in the original images like meteors, aircraft, satellites and clouds, Oh and hot pixels from the sensor.

 

This is a blend of 48 x 20second exposures, then the foreground from one of the original shots blended in, as in the lining up process, fixed land based objects get blurred.

Must find a more interesting sky to experiment with this software some more :)
