Description

I gathered frames for three nights for this image. I haven't been guiding lately, so I tried a little experiment. I first cut a few very bad frames out, which gave me 112. I stacked and processed that. I was a bit disappointed, so I went back through the frames and did my best to chose the best 56. Then I processed those. When I compared the outcome, there is very little, if any, real difference-- 56 frames (2.3 hrs), compared to 112 frames (4.6 hrs). I decided to post the 112 frame image, but it seems to me, a toss up... Of course, if I had 112 frames of the better quality ones, I would most likely have a better image to post.
