>>3043693I just grabbed that picture off Google, but I made this thread because I got thinking when I took some pictures of the night sky the other day, I'm using an old shitty Sony Nex-3 so I pretty much had to jam the blacks slider to the bottom in Lightroom to get something at least somewhat usable and it got me thinking about post processing.
Although, astrophotography might not be all that relevant to the discussion because that's only about the end product, there's not much photographic merit in just setting up a tripod, pointing the camera in the sky, pressing the shutter and waiting a few seconds.
