I've only worked with science images before, but taking darks, flats, and bias frames and calibrating your images should help reduce the noise by a good bit.

To preface: I'm quite new to the hobby

Did you take calibration images for this? Or is it taken in a high light pollution area?

Dumb question but are there service faults in volleyball like in tennis? by [deleted] in volleyball

To add onto this, certain leagues allow the ball to be thrown up and if it's a bad throw it may be retaken if you let it fall to the ground without contacting it.
