Bob Dobber Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 That's nice. I also never thought of stacking images taken from my own "real" camera (also an Olympus EM-1) maybe I'll give it a go, certainly easier than getting the telescope out! Do you find the stacking process produces a noticeably better end product than a single frame from said camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just guessing but just like deep sky images, stacking should increase the signal to noise ratio and if the stacking software rejects the 'rubbish' images then the overall result should be better than a single shot (unless you are very lucky with 'lucky imaging')?

Well yeah, I see that it *should* have the same outcome (ie. better than a single frame) it's just whether it is the case with a tool like a DSLR/mirrorless camera that isn't really designed to take photos of the night sky? I am defo going to give it a go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 Stacking for lunar is the same as planetary except you take loads of single subs, then convert them to avi. It improves signal to noise, stacking software takes out the bad frames as well. Its a doddle with the Em 1. I use an mft to 2" adapter and plonk it in the scope, set the image stabilisation to off, select shutter priority then adjust the speed to suit, choose a low iso eg 200. The zoom button is extremely useful for focusing. Its quick and makes a refreshing change from sitting for hours watching a phd graph :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
