Equipment - Nikon D7500, 70-300mm kit lens, Standard tripod

Skies - Bortle 7-8 according to lightpollutionmap.info

Details - 460 Light frames, 50 dark frames

Camera settings - ISO - 3200, f/6, 1.3 seconds, 300mm

Image Processing -

I exported all the RAW files as TIFF files and stacked every frame in a software called Sequator.

After stacking, i opened the final picture in Affinity Photo and did multiple curves and levels stretches.

Affinity photo has a background removal option which kind of helps to get rid of any light pollution in the background.

I also messed around with the vibrance and saturation

I always wanted to make software that automated that process for use in law enforcement. Reading plates at a distance, identifying criminals... Seems there are a lot of human input requirements buy they must ultimately break down to a set of conditions and rules. First I would have to learn how to code software...lol.

I hope we get to see the universe more freely by the end of our century but based off how humans are always repeating shit this era, we’re too late, still…We at least get to see beauty in its natural form like this
