Photo description / processing

Two videos were captured, each with 30,000 frames. From each video, I stacked 1,000 frames, then combined the two resulting stacks. I'm learning WaveSharp 3, and it's impressive. The deeper you dive into astronomy, the more you realize that specialized (astronomical) software, once properly mastered, always becomes better for processing than something like Photoshop. Although final touches like cropping are still easier to do in Photoshop, working with wavelets, contrast, color correction, and noise reduction is better done outside of it.
