Description

I thought this would be an interesting first draft; I stacked these images in Photoshop, aligned manually (the Auto alignment didn't work), created a Smart Object then further combined in Stack Mode (median setting).  The next draft will be to try using some other software like AutoStakkert! in a Windows environment.

Title: Lunar Eclipse, Different Stacking method, recovered star field

Description: I went back and used all of the full frame images, imported as layers in Ps, aligned them manually (using Difference in Blend Mode), then reduced the opacity of each subsequent layer by 4%. I definitely like the moon detail better than the method described with the first version. I was also able to rescue some of the star detail, though I am not sure it enhances the image.

Title: Lunar Eclipse, better stars

Description: Hopefully this version reduces the stars a bit better- previous version looked like a plethora of planets! Any more reduction and we are back to version 1.
