Are you intentionally not using noise reduction?

Yes, in the camera. I don't really know how to process with Photoshop yet. But it's better to have the original without software noise reduction. I'll learn gradually. Also, I don't have many stacked frames. I stretched the image, and the noise came with it. Again, I need to do tracking, haven't tried that yet either.

I'm still not great with Photoshop, but there are simpler editors for noise reduction. I'm currently using Lightroom, which is also an Adobe product. It's a bit awkward at first with importing and exporting files, but otherwise everything is clear. It works well for basic touch-ups. The images become much more pleasing :)
