As an aspiring astrophotographer, this is absolutely invaluable.

[@jdstrobist]

Beautiful pictures and awesome tips 😎✌️

[@robertwhitemoto]

Very helpful, especially with PhotoPills. thank you.

[@rrosen1]

This is a great tutorial. I have a problem with Starstax in that the start button is greyed out so I cannot do the blending. The files load but that is as far as I can go.

[@jerrybarton4528]

It would seem that Starstax is no longer available.

What’s with the tiny zoom images so weird having to squint to see you.
