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.
