The day at the shooting site was good weather, warm (90 degrees), and shining. Unfortunately, the remote mountain area (Yosemite and Sierra) was mostly covered with clouds and fog. I tried anyway knowing no success could be expected for the target, Half Dome, which was barely visible to the eye...

Congratulations to PLM!!!

Congratulations to Karen!!!

Can't see (from my aging eyes) the effect, please deliberate a bit, Fred.

It looks like the "Amount" increases the "light exposure" and thus seemingly "reduces the amount of the trails". Because the 3rd image has a different viewing size (at least with my screen), hard to compare and see the effect of "gradient" processing except for clarity improvement.

@Clovishound No, NYT just asks people who are not a subscriber to provide an "email" account, not a "Gmail" account, to continue reading the article. I reckon why not use my Gmail acc to do this for the sake of keeping active...

I don't take that as pp for the star-trails images. Only use those tools as an enhancement or preference for the "trail" effect, which you don't (and can't?) do in pp...

On the right side of the SS window, there are three icons: preference, tools, and xxx. Before and during stacking, it shows preference panel for setting desired features. Only after stacking, it changes to the Tools panel that you can change Threshold and Amount...

Did a small test on Star trails: 6", iso=600, f/2.0, fl=20mm, z6ii, 20 shots (interval timer). StarStaX results: 1. Amount= medium (default in Tools setting) 2. Amount= less I suspect that the Amount setting in Tools is reversed, i.e., less = more and more = less. Any comments?

I clicked the NYT link and it asked me for providing an email account to continue reading... I used my Gmail account as it says: The company (Google) said that anyone with an existing subscription that had been set up with a Google account, such as one linked to a news outlet, would be...

Done that yesterday... :)

I forgot what I did to my Gmail account now that seldom, almost none any mail (except mail from Google) comes to bother me compared with all my ATT accounts that come with tons of junk, and spam emails daily! That's why I worry a bit that Google may find my account inactive... but once in a...

I have a Gmail account and dozen other non-Google email accounts. My Mail app (Mac) checks all my email accounts (including Gmail) many times daily. Do I keep it active as very few (or nearly zero in a while) emails are received with my Gmail account?

Do using Chrome browser or Google Earth, but not checking Gmail still count as active? Or do you have to use all Google apps to stay active?
