 My technique was a manual method I brought from the stoneage.....tripod mount and take 4 shots at same settings.
Place each shot on a separate PS layer in turn.
Drop opacity of top layer to 25%, 2nd layer to 50%...3rd layer to 75%...leave bottom layer at 100%.

You can play with these % to modulate the effect.

The reasoning is that noise varies its position and pattern in each shot. By superimposing several photos and dropping opacity you are ghosting the noise content of each image while keeping the static subject intensity.

Wasn't aware that PS had median stacking as an option now...we live and learn.
