For many subjects that's not needed, especially stars. You can only bring out so much detail and colour before all those subs are nothing more than just a waste of effort. You can only collect so much data....if you wanted, you could collect 50 hours worth of subs, but they'd look no better than what you've got there. At least that's my opinion . |
There's something in this Carl. I spent the whole night gathering data for a faint fuzzy and then knocked this off in 30 mins. Astrophotographers can be an anal lot though and you definitely need the long exposures to get rid of noise when you're doing extreme stretching.
