If you are new to astrophotography, watch these first!


In Astrophotography, noise is the enemy. One of the many tools we have at our disposal to minimize noise is to stack many images together. Because noise is random, we can reduce the noise by taking many exposures and averaging them to get a higher signal to noise ratio.
