My UNTRACKED Milky Way editing workflow in 2021 - keeping it NATURAL and NOT OVERDONE

In this video I show how make your Milky Way pop if you are shooting without a star tracker. I share my workflow which includes Adobe Lightroom, Starry Landscape Stacker, PixInsight and Photoshop. The resulting image is kept quite natural as I don't need to do any targeted local adjustments in the sky, no dodging and burning etc.
