Someone told me my star trails were just messy and they were right

I used to think stacking 50 shots for trails was fine, but a guy on here said my lines looked like spaghetti. I cut it to 25 shots and the trails are way cleaner now. Anyone else get told their stacking was off?

Funny how that works in a lot of areas, not just photos. More stuff doesn't always mean a better result. It's like adding too many ingredients to a soup and the flavors just get lost. Finding that sweet spot is the real trick, and sometimes you need someone else to point out the mess.

Honestly, @umar49 is right, less is more.

Totally get it. Happened with my moon shots. Stacked too many, got a blurry mess. Less frames actually showed more detail. That outside eye helps spot what you miss.
