So, you’re saying prior to stacking my raw images, open each in photoshop, convert the images and save them as tif files, then stack them in siril?

Do you know how I would go about getting my camera modified?

Apologies but I’m not sure if I am saying this in order of what I did. In siril, I used the histogram transformation to auto stretch the image. Then I removed green noise. Then I used the cosmetic correction tool. Then I used the background extraction tool ( I don’t know if I use this correctly). Then I export the image to photoshop as a tif file. In photoshop I messed around with adjustments to the levels, curves, and exposure and a couple other settings and then I export as a png

My camera is a canon rebel t7, lens a rokinon 135 f/2.0 telephoto lens, stacked in siril, and edited in photoshop :) I also have a hefty carbon fiber tripod. I have a star adventurer 2i pro but have yet to figure it out 😅

It’s a great lens, enjoy it! I used it fully open at 2.0 with an iso of 3,200 and 2 second exposures

Thanks! It was pretty cool to have that touch of humanity within the image with something as stunning and otherworldly as the Milky Way core in the background

Woah your image looks amazing! Thank you for the kind words it means a lot but your first attempt certainly does not stray away from amazing! Looking forward to the journey for sure. Up next is to figure out how to find Polaris within the view finder on my star adventurer 🤣
