Astrophotography: The Milky Way – Image Processing in Photoshop

The Milky Way: Photoshop Image Processing Tutorial

In this astrophotography tutorial, I will be processing an image of the Milky Way using Adobe Camera Raw, and Photoshop.

The photos used in this example are single 30-second exposures shot with a Canon DSLR Camera on a tripod. There was no tracking or auto-guiding used.

A total of 3 images are manually stacked together in Adobe Photoshop to increase the signal to noise ratio. (slightly)
