i am enjoying this - Saturn - the very first planet i ever saw through a home made dob when i was 12 - hooked me ever since

[asimov (John)]

Thanks Ray, appreciated!

Good stuff David! Think I was about 12 as well when my first viewing through the 40mm refractor happened on Saturn - Hooked as well.

I read that people only stack best frames. How do you choose when to have 3000+ frames. Do you look at each one?

[icytailmark (Mark)]

john how long are each avi for saturn? do you switch debayer on while you focus? Then switch debayer off after u focus and center? I have trouble getting colour back into y800 avi files. I try in registax but cant get any colour.

[hotspur (Chris)]

great image,well done.

[astronobob (Bob)]

Again, how good is this , , Had to have another look and bump it up, didnt want it to dissapear off the page just yet, Talented stuff Asi

[asimov (John)]

Well thanks for the bump Bob, & the compliments - Glad you like the image(s) mate

originaltrilogy - No, you just have a quick look at the AVI (video) to detemine the seeing between 0 - 10 & stack amounts accordingly.

Mark - 3 min. captures at this (F22) scale. I'd drop it to 2 mins. if @ F30. Yes I switch debayering on to focus; seems to be easier while it's colour, plus I always bump the livefeed up to a 2X zoom. I'm using Y800 + unspecified these days. Use Autostakkert Mark. Registax doesn't like Debayering as it uses an inferior algorithm..(Nearest neighbour). Autostakkert uses something a lot better

[icytailmark (Mark)]

i just tried loading my avi's in autostakkert and this happens. Every single y800 avi
