laudropb Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 As Charl said an image would give a better idea of your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 R6 doesn't tend to like a lot of movement frame to frame (usually from bad seeing) and gives the "paving effect you state. Have you trued AS!2? It tends to give better results more often and is WAY quicker. Wavelets are then applied in Regi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorpius Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 How many frames are you stacking? 25 - 50% of the total seems to be a good rule of thumb. I've had similar issues with lunar images and Registax 6 seems to balk at large numbers of frames to sort through and stack on my Windows 8.1 PC. There's an option to let the software choose the best reference frame so maybe try that while stacking less frames just to see if it makes a difference...

chrisg18 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 95% of the frames!i didn't know their was an option to let the software choose a ref frame. I thought you scanned them yourself then chose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakalwe Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Use Autostakkert for stacking. 99.5% of the time it gives a superior result and is way easier and faster to use.The vast majority of lunar, planetary and solar imagers hove moved on from Registax for stacking. I see no reason to persist with it. There really are very few reasons to use it when there are faster, superior and easier-to-use options available.It also looks that all development has halted...the last update was 4 years ago.

Freddie Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Give AS!2 a go and stack ~1000 frames or 20-25% as you should have just over 5000. Then stack ~500 and see which is best. You should have low gain as it is the moon so noise shouldn't be a big issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisg18 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 will do. ill go on you tube and see how to use as2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakalwe Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Here you go. its a solar image, but the principles are exactly the same. Once it's stacked then just drag the stacked image and drop it into the Registax window. Then use the wavelet sharpening filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisg18 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Autostakkert 2 has made my head boil over at 1 in the morning. ill keep watching and give it a go.wouldnt it be great if there were courses in imaging and processing, where a real person was with you.

chrisg18 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 tried last night. how do you then go into wavelets on registax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 In Regi just open the stacked TIFF that AS!2 created and it will open on the wavelets function page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakalwe Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 tried last night. how do you then go into wavelets on registax?Just drag it from Explorer and drop it on the Registax window. Registax will then go straight to wavelets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisg18 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 when I stacked my moon image I had a 5mm black line at the bottom of the image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakalwe Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Load the AVI onto Dropbox and let me have a goThe black line is probably just a stacking artefact and can be cropped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
