Ted is on the money - see solarchat for extra help. in saying that some of the members here put me onto the straight and steady.
what i do:
- stack the lot in autostakkert 2 - highlight and process all your runs - (i choose the best 60 frames out of 600) and save as tiffs
- then take all of the images and put them into photoshop - scripts - load files into stack and select the tick box to align.
- when it finally finishes the churning of the photons - you will have them all lined up - now since your image has moved heaps over the time i think it best to crop around the main prom.
- after you do that you then need to do this next - well i do anyway and that is to export layers to files (same area as the load files to layers.
- by saving the individual layers you can then run batch files for colouring and sharpening etc on them . then you can use Microsoft movie maker or some other programme and then select all and then change the time to 0.1sec between frames - the rest is up to you but i have done that on the images i have done. it is a heap of processing but worth it.
i am looking to getting an autoguider at some stage just for timelapse
