Finally got a clear shot of the Orion Nebula from my backyard
I've been trying for months to get a good picture of M42, but my shots always looked fuzzy. Last night I tried stacking 30 two-minute exposures with DeepSkyStacker instead of just taking one long one. The difference is crazy, you can actually see the gas clouds now. What other deep sky objects work well with this method?

Stacking exposures like that is a game changer, I used to think you just needed one long shot. What gear are you using?

Wait, you used to think one long shot was enough? That's wild to me. I tried that with some city lights last year and got nothing but a blurry, blown out mess. The streetlights were just big white blobs. Stacking five shorter shots gave me the car light trails AND the sharp buildings. It's a totally different result.
