Possible to de-rotate/stack wide-field milkway shot on unguided tripod?

Hi,

I was wondering would it be possible to take a series of wide-field milkyway shots on fixed unguided tripod (f2.8, ~17mm 30seconds) then de-rotate and stack the images using software to create a similar image to a long exposure tracking shot? I want to do something like this to minimise noise and capture more details.

I was thinking if you create multiple layers in photoshop and just mask the foreground (trees, land whatever) this would be possible? Thanks for the help.

Mo.
