Stacking 54 images of the Helix in Deep Sky Stacker, with all manner of light pollution, seeing conditions etc over many nights of capture.
Take a deep breath........
Questions:
Under Stacking Parameters "Result" tab.
1 What if I enable 2 x drizzle? What will it do?
2 What if I enable 2 x drizzle? What will it do?
3 What if I uncheck Align RGB channels in final image?
Under Stacking Parameters "Light" tab.
1 Stacking mode choices: Average, Median, Kappa-Sigma clipping, Median Kappa-sigma clipping, Auto adaptive weighted average, Entropy weighted average (high dynamic range), maximum. These are choices. What is the best selection and why? What does any of it do?
2 When you select any of that Kappa stuff, the fields to the right are default at Kappa 2.0 and Iterations 10. What does this do? Should I change it? If so, what to and why?
3 Debloom checkbox. What is this for?
Under Stacking Parameters "Cosmetic" tab.
1 Detect and clean remaining hot and cold pixels. Should I check the boxes or not? If so, what filter sizes and detection threshholds should the sliders be set on?
If anyone has answers that can be explained to someone with a year ten education only, please help.
