I'm using a Canon 7D, which produces a fair amount of noise when shooting above ISO 800. But when you want to capture some stars, without running into star trails, you've gotta pump up the ISO to get below the particular shutter speed that avoids star trailing in the resulting image.
Well, let's say I'm shooting at a still usable ISO 1600, to get the most out of my frames. What do you find the best way to reduce the noise in post without smoothening it out in LR5 with the noise reduction Luminance slider and lose so much detail in the sky?
Is there a better way?
Thanks!
