Very nice, Narayan! And especially impressive considering the small number of compensatory frames (Darks, etc.). I feel like I am missing out on the modified...
I was talking to someone who is phenomenal at image processing and he was questioning the order of operation in the stacking of my images. I told him that I...
Hi Neil, His order is absolutely right and is the one used by DSS. Two comments though: 1. When using bias frames, a master bias is first created then ...
I've just received my free copy of Vista for installation in my Toshiba Laptop. I don't want to install it if it is going to mess up my DS Stacker, or DSLR...
Hi, ... DSS is working with Vista. PixInsight is probably working with Vista. DSLR Focus: you are going to have problems. The reason is that the Vista kernel...
Hi All, Just to add an info: Canon will not create Vista drivers for EOS cameras released before 2004. This includes the EOS 300D/Rebel. Clear skies, Luc...
This is exactly why in my case I dual boot Vista and Windows XP. I'm enjoying the flavor of Vista, but in my case only a few things actually work on it. So...
HI What is the significance of this in the advanced register settings. What does it mean if it is low or if it is high at a given detection %. What should you...
Hi Bertthebudgie, The detection threshold is the value over which a given pixel is checked as a possible star center. Under this value the pixels are not even...
On the subject of star detection, it would be *really* useful if you could either select regions that you *don't* want stars selection to happen in, or be able...
Hi Simon, ... You will have it ;-) But not before the next version and I don't know yet when it will be released. Meanwhile you can check if DSS has detected...
Luc, Two new images stacked with DSS - marvelous software and thanks again. Both with Canon 30D Unmodified at iso 1600, Astronomik CLS filter (custom WB)...
Hunter, thanks a lot;-) It helps to see that such things are possible when I am dealing with a long string a bad weather (sunny days, cloudy and rainy nights)....
Hi, ... Not silly;) DSS will not do the LRGB combining. It will just create aligned L, R, G and B images. Just select the same reference frame for all the ...
Hi Huner, really great pictures, superb focus and guiding. But looking at (and admiring) your pictures, they seem to confirm my suspicion, that custom WB...
You're right, Zybnek, I can see the difference. I have photoshop elements and I will try it out first chance I get. Neat trick. I had tried doing a black point...
Hi Hunter, I'm sure you will master it in no time, it's nothing difficult. In general black, gray and white points has following meaning: Black Point - by...
Hi Luc Quick question. Ive taken 28 shots of Eta carina over a couple of months. Because the object has crossed my zenith in that time my scope has been...
Hi Carl, DSS is recognizing the star patterns so the orientation is not an issue. It can even (theorically) align two mirrored images. So far I have only...
Luc, I ddidn't understand this : "Just select the same reference frame for all the stacks but uncheck the reference frame when it should not be stacked". What...
I do this each time ! and it is working every time. Thank you DSS :o) Nicolas Outters http://www.astrosurf.com/nico-outters/astro/index.html ... From: "Luc...
Hi Nicolas, Let's take an example: you have four stacks (one for each color and one for the luminance) and you want to create 4 images that are perfectly...
Hi Luc In addition to the previous question regarding rotation. Do you think 30x 6min images @800iso is enough for eta carina or should i shoot more. Rgards ...
Hi Carl, There is no definite answer to your question, but I can give you a hint so that you can check by yourself: if, when you start stretching the...
Ok Luc, it is clear now. Thanks a lot. Nicolas Outters http://www.astrosurf.com/nico-outters/astro/index.html ... From: "Luc Coiffier" <deepskystacker@...>...
Hi ! My name is Réginald and I'm from France (Dunkerque - North). I'm joining now to this group group cause I will start astrophotography of deep sky objects...
Bonjour Reginald, Bienvenue à bord et bonne chance dans le Nord pour une météo moins pourrie que celle du Sud. Juste un truc: enlève de ta signature les...
Zbynek, I can't seem to get the gray point to work for me. I can do a white point easily, but when I try to do the gray point, I get these wierd colors,...
Hi Hunter, are you sure you're trying to set the grey point on the star, which is of white color? For example, if you choose star of other spectral type, like...
