Noise reduction help in night scapes
Not sure if this is the thread I post this on...
I am new to nightscapes but am becoming quite frustrated with the noise in my photos. I usually shoot in AWB Faithful.... with the in-camera NR turned off as most internet sites I have read suggest this. I am using a Canon EOS 60Da with a Samyang 14 mm f2.8 manual lens (the eclipse moon was taken with the Canon camera at prime focus on a Meade LXD55 10" SN F4). The ISO for the night scapes ranges from 1000-1200 for 20 secs. Sometimes 3200 and once 5000 for 3 secs (just to see the result) I know that the higher ISOs introduce noise.
I only have Adobe Light Room, Deep Sky Stacker and Star Trails de to process. In Light Room, I use the Luminance tab to reduce noise. Does anyone have suggestions for a program to use to reduce noise and process the photos within a limited budget? Or where I might be going wrong. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Have added some of my shots...
