So do the individual pictures just look like a normal picture of the sky with like a smartphone? And you don't get that crazy exposure until you stack them?

Yes friend, i used to take single pictures of 10/15 seconds of exposure and the milky way looked nice. BUT, the more exposure time you have... The more details and the more bright, the milky way looks. So, stacking images is the best if you want to get a WOW picture. I have 4 minutes of exposure in this image.. imagine the ones who take 10 minutes of exposure

Fantastic work, looks really great. What platform is the stacking program on? Windows? I couldn't find "Sequator" with a quick google

You can look for ASTAP and DeepSkyStacker. Those are another programs to stack images.. i use windows, i am not sure if Mac runs those programs

In the individual frames you will see detail too. From very dark places, the Milky Way looks incredible even with your naked eye. This is a picture I took with my smartphone while visiting some of the darkest skies in the US
