Appreciation post: I finally understood why stacking software matters
I spent years trying to get clear shots of the Orion Nebula with just a single long exposure from my backyard in Boise. A guy at the local astronomy club meeting last month showed me his stacked image of the same target, and the difference was night and day. Anyone have a favorite stacking program for a beginner?

Yeah I used to think it was just a gimmick too. Seeing a side-by-side comparison like that is a total game changer.

Totally get it. Felt the same way until I saw it for myself. Makes you realize what you've been missing.

My old 30-second shots looked like mush before stacking, just like victorb17 said.
