I previously was taking some images with an ASI2600MC Pro at full resolution 1x1 binning. I decided to take some at 2x2 binning last night to experiment. Now I have files that are 3120x2088 (2x2) and files that are 6248x4176 (1x1). DeepSkyStacker won't let me stack them all at ...
However, I guess PIPP is to blame then. I do control the camera with FireCapture. I take exposures controlling gain (usually unitary) and sutter time (from tens of seconds to a few minutes). I observe the histogram. I just use PIPP to aply flats and darks and convert the SER into ...
To offset these issues, amateur astrophotographers take a series of image exposures and stack them together. This process is known as image stacking, and it can significantly improve the overall signal-to-noise ratio of the image. Before I explain how you can easily stack images using various ...
I find it useful to use the StarNet++ star removal tool at the end of my image processing workflow in the “finishing touches” stage. Here is my proposed workflow when using StarNet++ at this stage of the process. Register and stack your data Process your image with stars intact Run the...
I have also tried Siril too for processing of the stack but with pretty much the same result. Those hard lines are created from AstroTracer in the camera so one answer could simply be to crop them out, though I found that if I remove the stars in Gimp then subtract this layer with th...
The PixInsight weighted batch processing script is great for improving overall image quality as it weights every image in the stack thus integrating each at a level that improves the overall image quality. When you get into rejecting 80% of your subs to get the best result your in for a se...
The night sky toward the constellation Taurus. Stack of multiple 90-second exposures on a star tracker. Canon EOS Ra + RF 15-35mm F/2.8 lens. A portable camera tracker is quick to set up and easy to polar align and balance when used with a camera and lens. The setup below features ...
This one of the many reasons amateur astrophotographers like myself capture several exposures andstackthem together. If you’re shooting images using a DSLR camera, you’ll likely need to apply dark calibration frames to each and every one of your astrophotography image projects. ...
NINA uses PixInsight to do live stacking. Personally I wouldn't be interested in buying PI just to live-stack in NINA (I only do very basic post on my EAA captures). If there were more capable tools in NINA (where I could make image adjustments similar to Sharpcap while live-stacking)...
My guess is that only way to do this in Pixinsight would be via PixelMath. Or write my own software. As mentioned above, the simplest way to use HDR is to stack each set of subs of the same exposure, then combine. But it would actually be better to combine them all at once - yo...
