BLENDING STAR TRACKER PHOTOS with luminosity masks in Photoshop (featuring Lumenzia)

In this video I show step by step how to get a perfect mask around trees in Photoshop to blend a high quality Milky Way image taken on Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer with a ground exposure. I use luminosity masking with excellent plugin called "Lumenzia" written by Greg Benz. By the end of the video I also show how to achieve the same without the use of Lumenzia. That way you can make a perfect mask around any horizon to be able to create stunning photographs with the use of a star tracker.
