The basic rundown(s) are as follows. Every option seems to yield the same results. I’ve dealt with it somewhat on the final product by applying a selective burn (midtones, shadows ~10%) but would like a more optimal solution.
1) import image series using LOAD FILES INTO STACK or dragging/dropping the files as smart objects.
2) Apply a blend to each layer – LIGHTEN – which creates the screenshot without banding.
3) merge layers with snapshot (CRTL+ALT+SHIFT+E), “merge layers”, “flatten image”, “merge visible layers”, saving the image as a jpg or layerless tiff.
Images were shot on a Panasonic GH4 which is less than optimal for astrophotos but this doesn’t APPEAR to be an in-camera issue

Curves doesn’t appear to offer any significant clues either… You can just BARELY see some of the banding beginning in the trees I think if that gives us something to work with

Gave it a try using FILE–>SCRIPTS–>LOAD FILES INTO STACK (which appears to layer the images without turning them into smart objects as dragging/dropping does) and there’s still aberration.

Ooooh… very good idea. Thank you! I’ll give a quick test to see if it works out. That should (after I export at a consistent speed) allow me to gradually speed up the resulting video file without overheating my computer.
Are you okay with a percentage? The math will be easy seeing as my revenue from this will be a nice round number (0)!
Thank you again, big time!
