From Bortle 1

About this image

At last landed in a Bortle 1 village in southern Morocco.

The photo is a stack of 50 photos 10s each (using DSS), then processed in PixInsight and Lightroom. The background hill was taken from one frame and pasted on to the final to cover the blurred hill (due to stacking).

Spectacular, Maz! I’m envious of those dark skies.

Its a nice picture.

Could you comment please on the number of frames and exposure employed. If multiple frames did you use something like Sequator to freeze the hill in place? :)

Thanks Grant. I have now added the processing method in the comment.
