You must have a really good camera! LOL. I'm kidding of course. I know that a lot of skill is required.
What kind of setup did you use to take that? Did you perform multiple exposures and blend them. How did you eliminate noise?

There are many software programs available to process the raw data, some open source and free. I used a combination of PixInsight, StarTools and Photoshop. Noise reduction is handled in these programs.
