Brilliant Walt! as ever, great educational value and entertaining as well, my night photography has come on leaps and bounds since discovering you. You truly show what is possible with basic kit!

The value of your videos are next level. Not only in terms of education, but also entertainment. Keep it up for as long as you have fun making these.

The lens correction works only on un-stacked images. I'll usually import them to lightroom first before stacking. Then I'll use the lens correction on the first image and maybe a few other tweaks. Then sync them to the other images. Then I'll export them to a file on the desktop for Sequator to stack. Just a little extra step to keep in mind. Great video Walt. Glad to see you going back to your roots. Clear skies!!!!!!
