With Jupiter and Saturn prominent in the night sky at the moment, I thought I would bang off some shots from my backyard mounted scope setup using my Canon 6D DSLR.

However, when I came to stack the images, I found that Deep Sky Stacker doesn't do planets and, surfing the web, I haven't come across any freeware that does. Plenty of AVI or video programs, but no single shot stackers.
Can anyone recommend one?
Thanks a million, Chunky

AutoStakkert is free and will do it. Planetary I usually run my files through PIPP (free again) first to center (to rough align) and crop the planet and output 16bit stills before giving those to autostakkert or registax (free again). Guess you didnt look hard enough. Most people use 100% free software for most of their needs.

Registax works on Canon RAW as does Autostakkert.
