Rant: I used to think stacking 50 frames was enough for a decent deep sky shot
Now I won't even start unless I have at least 200, because the noise reduction is just that much better. Anyone else find their old standards just don't cut it anymore?

Yeah, I get that. My old shots from a couple years back look so grainy now I can't even look at them. Honestly, just keep stacking, the difference is crazy once you push past that 150 mark.

Ugh, tell me about it. That grain is brutal.

Take it from someone who's tested this a bunch, the real jump in quality happens more between 50 and 100 frames than from 100 to 200. Your mileage may vary depending on your camera and light pollution though.
