Why does nobody stack images anymore?
I spent 3 hours last weekend trying to pull detail out of a single shot of M31 and got nowhere. Then I remembered a tutorial from 2018 about stacking just 20 frames in DSS. Tried it with my old Canon 60D and a 200mm lens. The difference was so big I felt dumb for not doing it sooner. Anyone else skip stacking because it seems like a hassle?

Stacking is basically like free SNR, so why wouldn't you do it? I get that it seems like a chore, but running 20-50 frames through DSS takes maybe ten minutes of actual effort. It's not that serious, just let the software do the heavy lifting and move on.

Read somewhere that even 10 frames can make a noticeable difference in noise reduction.
