Description

Multiple 30s videos taken (Alt Az mount) and stacked in Autostakkert!3, only 3 of which had acceptable SNR and star shapes. These 3 captures were taken and blended together using PixInsight's Dynamic Alignment and Pixel Math processes. Exposure times was 10-100ms and across the 3 stacks I ended up using abut 360 frames (top 20% of 3 videos of 600 frames each)
