PixInsight just added an awesome new step for rejecting frames during the stacking process! This has been something I wanted for a long time, so I'm excited to see it. My current intake process will filter out obvious things like clouds, but Frame Selection exposed a potential issue with my frames shot during the full moon. Sweet!

Here's our latest image of the Pleiades. We didn't capture as much data as I would have liked, but we spent most of the fall photographing the Andromeda Galaxy.

Playing around with some images captured on a clear dark night late September. One is a single 2-minute tracked image looking over some treetops in #TerraNovaNP #DarkSkyPreserve.

The other is a stack of 20 of these tracked images (with the tree tops cropped out). Can "push" the processing a lot more with the stack.

Canon 6D (modified), 35mm lens, iso3200 f/2.5

Single image mostly processed in #darktable. Stack mostly in #PixInsight

I'm working through our late-summer backlog during the shutdown. We started photographing the Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae fairly late in the Milky Way season, but I'm still pleased with how the final images turned out.
