Hi all,
I a have attempted comet stacking in DSS a few times and always failed. The page of instructions I have tried to follow is this:
http://deepskystacker.free.fr/englis...#cometstacking
My problems are:
1) I move the mouse to the comet and click on it but the target automatically selects a brighter star nearby. See attached screenshot where I have the mouse on the comet but it's selected a star. (you can't see the mouse because of screenshot not capturing it).
2) Many frames do not get included in the stack. These seem to be the ones with "NC" in the list. It seems no amount of selecting the comet or registering all images will include these frames when I choose the comet stacking method. See attached screenshot.
I have tried both:
1) open all files
2) check all files
3) click comet in each file one by one
4) stacking
and
1) open all files
2) check all files
3) register all files
4) click comet in all files
5) stacking
In the end I have always manually aligned the calibrated TIF files in photoshop and stacked that way, because DSS seems to just not work for me.
Obviously I'm doing something wrong, right? is it just me???
Thanks!
