Yes, I took three videos at 60fps, stacked about 3000 frames or so with autostakkert and then processed in registax 6. It's really fun to do it this way. I think my next buy will be some goto SCT or Mak as I really enjoy the challenges of planetary. Also being in Bortle 5 I ...
To process my image of Jupiter, I used two different applications; AutoStakkert, and Registax 6. I use AutoStakkert to turn the .SER video file into individual image frames and stack the best ones into a single file. Because Jupiter rotates so quickly (about 1 minute), I limited my vid...
Therfore if you wish to stay on the safe side - you should avoid improvised solutions (such as CD, floppy disk, smoked glass, negative films, etc.) and only use filters and equipment which was specifically designed for visual solar observing. You can also use the projection method (described...
Learning how to photograph the moon is a gateway niche to astrophotography. It's easy to do and doesn't require as much equipment as star or Milkyway photography.
Then, you can stack the best image frames (sometimes referred to as “lucky imaging“) together in a software tool likeRegistaxorAutostakkertto really sharpen and enhance your image. Usually, amateur astrophotographers will use a point-and-shoot digital camera, webcam, or dedicated astronomy cam...
Post-processing different types of astroimages calls for different techniques and software. For example, solar system imaging employs many different pieces of software, but much of it is available for free or for a donation. Examples include Firecapture, SharpCap, Autostakkert!, PIPP, ImPPG, and...
