Yes. Not combine using photoshop, but through a software called astrostack.

Focusing not exactly precise, can be improve further.

you can do stacking using photoshop but tedious, because you need to align those images first.

Provided that the layers of the images are aligned, can anyone explain how the layers can be added/stacked?

Bright object, doesn't blink very much.

err..not sure what you mean by that dimension.....but this is the scope he use:



Actually the "power" is not just the scope. It is the image processing software. The raw images are very dim and unappealing. Combine them and you get miracles.

Well.... PS works in layers as you know already... so just align them on top of each layer, play with the layer attribution and the transparency level and then once you have what you want, you FLATTEN them altogther
