#image stacking

Damn, forgot this blog existed… here’s what my new 70-200 Sony f/4 G OSS II lens can do in combination with my shitty Chinese star-tracker (it’s decent, just not made for 200mm), and an alyn Wallace msm V-wedge, followed by some hours in an image stacking software + lightroom. Pretty neat, actually. Mainly cause you can kinda see the horse head nebula!!

This is the time lapse stack featured in the previous video I posted about Lunada Bay in California's South Bay.

It's 220(ish) frames off a GoPro Hero 5 Black, stacked with a median blend applied to give the impression of a long exposure.

Because it's an image made from time lapse video stills at 1080p (1920 x 1080 resolution) it suffers in some ways, such as the fringing in the upper right where the sky meets the top of the peninsula.

*Meh*

“This image was acquired by taking 50,000 images of the lit surface (25 tiles at 2000 frames each) and stacking the best 50% of the frames. ..”
