Re: My first GX8 Milky-Way Landscape attempt...

Great shot nonetheless. Stacking foreground isn't something i have been too interested yet but i also think it's tough to do. From what i have seen and heard you gotta use software like PS to cut out the foreground objects, then align the sky. You leave one of the shots' forground objects in place but only one so you don't have ghosting.

Even this way im not sure there aren't issues with the edges where the objects were eliminated. Not sure if there is automated software that will do all this or not but i think it's similar to how people use tracking mounts for the same shots and use a selection mask in PS. A search in YT though would probably offer many explanations. When i research that's one of my main resources.

"Somewhere on a toilet wall
I read the words
'You form a line to formalize the former lies.'
And I finally saw the truth
Something so profound and now it's sitting there
Surrounded by the garbage and the stains
Another victim of the refuse
Now I've been saying this for years
But you don't comprehend it
I fight hell and I fight fear
Because I understand it
Androgyny and insults
You try so hard to be difficult
You want to win the war?
Know what you're fighting for"
