Hit 500 stacked frames on a single target and the noise reduction blew my mind
After fighting with a cheap mount for months, I finally got a solid polar alignment in my Bortle 5 backyard and the detail in the Orion Nebula's core was insane compared to my old 50-frame attempts.

Honestly, I'm kinda surprised. I mean, I've always felt like stacking past 200 frames just gives diminishing returns for the processing time.

So what's the magic number then? You've clearly hit a wall at 200, but is that just for planetary stuff or does it hold for deep sky too? I've seen people swear by 500 frames for faint nebulae, but my computer would probably start crying.

Huh, I don't know, is it really that big of a deal? I mean, I just stack until it looks good and call it a day.
