High res image

I took about 30 raw 30s exposures from my phone propped up on the roof, stacked them with deep sky stacker, and I’m impressed at the result.

    A friend has been filling me in on his journey doing the same thing. He got to the second to last photo in a set and hit an out-of-memory error last week. He went from 32GB of RAM to 96GB. I think I’ll see lots more cool images of the night sky soon. :-)

      Jeez those images have to be huge. My stack took about 5 minutes to complete on a low end laptop with 16gb of ram.

        Yeah, he’s a photography nerd. I dunno what equipment he’s using, but I know he spends a good amount of money on it.
