You need RAW files for doing any decent astrophotography stacks.
Here is a stack of 186 30sec RAW files

hey fellow Pentaxians
THANK YOU so much
I promise to post some images once I solve all technical problems
- proper polar alignment
- See if EQ mount still tracks properly
- set up guide scope
- buy ST4 guide CCD
- buy IR/UV cut filter
and the list goes on but we all need a challenge
Clear Skies as astro-nuts would say

Here is a single image of my country skies
Pentax K3, Pentax 14mm F2.8, no tracking or stacking
At ISO 400, 25 seconds, Levels boost in PS
A few elongated star images on the upper right
Not sure if its my lens or I should drop it down one step
It doesn't seem to happen with the Samyang 14mm
nor the Canon equivalent
Image taken June 2020
I boosted the levels slightly too much as evidenced
by the red wavy patterns towards the horizon.
But this image was processed for FB where quality is poor anyway
Not your exacting pixel peeping eyes!

All this drama over small commissions on Ebay!
"Don't sweat the small stuff"
Ebay works brilliantly
Pentax Forums are largely CONUS anyway

I think we should abolish ALL daylight savings
and return to the TRUE cosmic cycles of the Moon and Sun.................
