Perkil8r Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 One step at a time, that's my aim. I've taken a couple of quick snaps just to see what's what, so now to move on a tiny step, take 2 or 3 snaps and stack them. So with that in mind, what software would people reccomend me having for stacking and all the other bits and bobs? I currently have PS Elements and am quite handy with it, I also have Corel Draw which you can do quite a bit with although that's mainly for creating work rather than editing photos.

Daz Type-R Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I`m no astrophotographer but i know a lot of people on here use Registax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kheldar Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Stacking : Deep Sky Stacker (I feel Registax is more planetary but that's just my 2p) Acquisition : consider Backyard EOS (my favourite) or APT : they are less than £15 each and very good at what they do However Canon Utilities is free and works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glider Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I use Astrophotography Tool (APT) and they sponsor our Picture of the Month. DeepSkyStacker is the tool for stacking DSLR images. Registax strips individual frames from webcam video (AVI's) and stacks them and is more suited for planetary imaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyboy1970 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 For planetary I use Castrator and Autostakkert 2 which both work well. The creator of these two bits of software is an awesome planetary imager using a large Dob. http://www.astrokraai.nl/autostakkert.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
