This is my first upload here. The night sky is a stack of 15 10 second exposures (ISO 800, f/4) with a 105mm aperture using a Canon R6 Mark 2. The boat was the best of several individual shots.

Thanks, I used Affinity Photo 2 with the âNew Astrophotography Stackâ file option.
We focus on free and open source software in this forum. While Iâm sure affinity is great and Iâm glad it works for you, in the context of this forum, it doesnât make sense.

Well, pardon me. If I can figure out how to delete my post I will. Also how do I delete my account as this forum doesnât make sense to me
Hi, @Ray_Mandeville, and welcome to the forum.
Itâs not my place to speak for @paperdigits of course, but Iâm confident he wonât mind me saying that he certainly didnât mean to discourage you in any way. 
In an effort to expand on the âphilosophyâ of the forum, we try our best to stick with images that are processed using FOSS on here as the PIXLS.US website was specifically set up with the goal of promoting FOSS photography tools â and I can see from your bio that you already make use of some really cool FOSS tools yourself, such as GIMP and Siril.
Have you ever tried using any FOSS processors, such as RawTherapee, Art, or Darktable? If not, why not give them a try?
Most of all, do stick around if you can â everyone on here (from my own experience, at least) is as good as gold, and weâd love see more of your work.
What sort of equipment do you use for your Astrophotography? Iâm what you might call a âstreet photographer,â myself, so itâs an entirely different genre to mine â thatâs why Iâm always so eager to learn more; the images you astrophotographers (is that the correct term?) manage to capture are absolutely amazing!
