Hit 100 stacked photos on the moon and saw craters I never noticed before
I always stopped at around 30 frames for lunar shots because I thought more was overkill. But last week I stacked 100 frames from my backyard scope and suddenly the detail on the terminator line was insane. Has anyone else noticed a big jump after a certain number of frames?

oh man my buddy marco tried this exact thing last month with his 8 inch dob. he said he always did 40-50 frames and thought that was plenty but then one night he was bored and just let it run for like 200 frames. he texted me at 2am losing his mind saying he saw little rille features near the apennine mountains he had never even noticed before in like 10 years of shooting the moon lmao. i think the noise reduction really kicks in hard past 80 frames or something because his terminator shots went from decent to insane. he even printed one out and framed it which he never does.

Right?! Fifty frames is rookie numbers once you see what stacking actually does. Marco probably got that A-HA moment we all need sometimes. It's wild what a difference pure patience makes, isn't it?
