Hello,
I've seen a lot of amazing photographers clear star photos and their tutorials about how to edit star photos, reduce noise, 500 rule, equipment, etc.; however, I haven't seen/read any good advice on how to produce star photos with a clear, bright, low noise foreground. For an example, a lot of Michael Shainblum's photos are just mind-blowing and I'd love to produce even a fraction of his artwork!
This is one of my images, I like the composition; however, is photo is extremely noisy, the quality is very poor @ 100%, and the mountain is barely visible!

1) So my question is how do photographers captures such a clear foreground & sharp+low noise star photos? Do they take a photo right before sunset & not move the tripod until its dark?
2) Are they using the image stacking technique? How many pictures & what settings are recommended generally (eg. ~3-5 pictures? Each one stop +/- different?)
3) Any tutorials (free & paid) that you all would recommended? I plan to purchase Shainblum's, but am open to other photographers!
