Perkil8r Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Help! I took some quick snaps of the Moon earlier in JPG format, I forgot to shoot in RAW, they came out pretty good but slightly out of focus. Well the moon was still clear so went back out and captured 15 exposures all in RAW format. Went to Deep Sky Stacker to try and stack them. Now I should point out I have very little idea what I am doing with it. Anyway, loaded the 15 shots, hit register and it says that it can only stack 1 frame as there aren't any stars. So I had a quick look with Registrax (version 6) but that doesn't support CRW files. In DSS even though it won't stack anything as such, the image that I've taken looks pretty good if a bit red, so decided to "stack" the 1 frame. It then seems to lose all the contrast and depth and becomes way too bright and washed out with light, no matter how I try and adjust it. Any ideas, software suggestions etc very much appreciated. Feel quite down hearted as I know these 15 shots are really quite good, I just can't do anything with them! I can't even view them as taken!

Perkil8r Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 I've only got Photoshop Elements from about 1843 lol, really wanted to be able to stack them although I do know 2 of them I think are slightly out of focus, but the rest are spot on, or at least pretty much spot on. Begining to wish I'd stuck to JPEG lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Picassa photo viewer will let you convert the CRW files to jpg. Not sure how it will affect quality though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Could you not use registax ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 I've now progressed somewhat I'm now onto using Registax for Lunar and planets etc, DSS for DSO's. Plus I now have Photoshop Cs5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
