I've tried stacking about a dozen Milky Way raw images using DeepSkyTracker but always with this result - see image. I'm obviously going wrong somewhere. Watched a tutorial on Youtube which I followed but I'm clearly making some fundamental error. Any ideas?
Hey, that's pretty funky. Some guy is getting material printed up using images like this.
If you could walk us through what you did and what settings you used, that would be a great help.
Maybe post screen captures of each lot of settings would be easier.
I now think that DSS is not decoding the raw images from my Sony nex 3n. I checked that DCRAW - which DSS uses - has my camera on its list of supported cameras but I don't think that DSS has updated to the latest version of DCRAW. On DSS my raws register and stack at lightning speed much faster than the jpeg versions.
What version of DSS are you using? Get the latest one - I think it's still a beta version from memory. I had issues with raws from my camera until I did that - admittedly not like your awesome effort though.
Thanks Chris for the tip - I'm was using DSS 3.3.2 but currently following your advice and trying to download the beta version and get it working. My Norton antivirus doesn't like it for some reason. Really like your stacked Milky Way below by the way.
