Just my normal set up - Bresser 635/127 Frac + azeq6gt + Mod canon 100d and Astrotoaster live screen capture saved into PNG file - consists a bit bit than usual as it was stack 22 frames of 60 secs @ iso800 plus 5 darks all live stacked (darks are just my "library" of 5 darks @iso800 x 60secs taken 2 months ago using same canon. Also think my focusing was slightly out - remote software focusing can be a pig sometimes.

 

This Live stack is grainy but you see the same picture (just not as good LOL) after 2 stacked frames. This was unguided as my guiding kit went mad (tech term) - something to sort out my thinks.

 

 One thing I have found out is that EQMOD 3 point alignment  saved data plus PHD2 just dont get on - they seem to fight each other so I no longer  save  EQMOD alignment data to load on the next session - it does some funny things ,as I say, with PHD2. Oh well. 

 

Hope that helps Pete.

 

P.S. Where's my Ebay money for all the pictures you have been selling

That's great thanks Clive. 

 

I'm interested to see more of your (nearly) live captures after seconds or minutes of integration, because I'm looking into experimenting with this aspect myself.

Just be patient, I've decided I will wait till I've netted a million off eBay and will then push the boat out and reward you with a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

There is a good section in SGL and Cloudynights on EAA/Video Astro etc and by people who are far better than me at it. 

 

here is an example step by step (simplified LOL)

As M & Wise use to say but not in the correct order - dam Flickr

Cheers Clive. Will have a look at those EAA sections. Not looked at SGL for a very long time.

 

Thanks for your step by step. I sorted out the order eventually but it seems to go 5, 4, 3, 1, 3. Think the last image was step 2.

The last step was the one with the large amounts of text ! I expected Flickr to keep the AlphaNumeric Order if the titles - it didn't - will know for next time.
