Some of his Galaxy images are absolutely incredible however they required hundreds and hundreds ( up to 1000 ) of 20 to 30 sec subs
For those who use the new generation cameras QHY268 or ZWO2600 series , these produce 50MB files and therefore you require a computer with huge storage and processing power if your going to pursue this technique long term
Cuiv has many computers and remote storage so he is well set up for this type of imaging
He’s proven that good images can be achieved under adverse conditions using this technique
He’s also posted some of his images on CN
Check his YouTube channel out , there’s a episode on it a year or 2 ago about lucky imaging

Hi Martin..I follow Cuiv (subscribed) and really like his content..in fact he convinced me to tryout the Asiair plus and started me down the road to learning the important stuff in imaging.
My little lap top manages rather well (better than my fesk top actually) but my daughter has given me her old gaming computer and she is going to rebuild it for me to make it pretty flash and dedicated to stacking primarily...everything will be replaced except the case and power supply
..I could buy one built but she has just built a rather decent one and I would like to give her more experience in building...I will have the components list very soon so I plan to open a thread in the computer section seeking input as to if we/she has made the best selection of bits...
Currently what I do is to run an external drive off the lap top so huge files is not a problem...I use 3x drizzle which without the external drive gives me messages like...you need 350gig space and you only have 120 gig available...but with the external drive there is no problem..as I type I am stacking 231 subs from the ZWO 2600 OSC and did 350 from the Mono earlier...I am going to try and stack both later today to push the limits
I have not idea how that will go
After watching that video I am going to see just how high I can push the gain and how short the subs on the 115 mm and later on the RASA which is down having new heater ring fitted and attention to cabling.
