This is my most successful Milky Way shot so far. Still learning to use stacking to reduce noise and improve the image quality.
Stack of 112 light frames, 2 dark frames, stacked using an app called Sequator, post-processing in Lightroom Classic. Manfrotto tripod with ball-head, no equatorial mount.
