So have you solved the problem of "No picture to save" you had in your other DSS post ?

Michael

Yes, I am sorry it was me being rude 
It was my first time taking a star pic with a telescope, I was very excited and worried when I faced a problem that I forgot to reply to the previous post. Apologizes to all stargazers who attempted to help me 

Thank you all, I tried to click the register checked pictures  and then clicked  clicked stack checked pictures then it worked! 

I think that the problem was that I didnt register checked pictures but just straight  away went into stack checked pictures..

Thank you for commenting on my posts and tried to help me out, sorry I took so long to answer back 

After I have used autostakkrt!3 i have this problems of having rectangles on the stacked image.

i have used pipp before to convert the pictures into tif then used them to autostakkert 

could someone tell me why this happens and how to prevent it please?

After stacking in the deep sky stacker I was tweaking details on editing software I got a big white vignetting in the edges. I am not sure why as I did not have any have to vignette when I was taking pictures in the fields, rather I got them after stacking on DSS.

Can someone tell me why and how to prevent it if anyone knows why/how?

I am assuming that it is something to do with my flat frames and the fact that I have a very short exposure time

Total exposure time of the picture I took is 100 seconds (indeed, very short), and I used 15 flat frames

I think DSS saves the stacked image in the "Lights"-folder, with the name "Autosave.fits" or similar. Look for it there. Btw, I don't do any image processing or converting in DSS itself. I take the fits-files into Siril, does a couple of tweaks, and export them as tiff's, which I finish in Gimp. If you dont have Siril installed, DSS can be configured to save the finshed image as a tiff, which you can work on in Gimp or Photoshop.

I do not think thats the case though, because I do not see the autosave file in my light frame folders and also as you see in my attachment, I do not see a preview picture but instead just see a plane grey rectangle.

I may be wrong, but I listened to your advice and searched the autosave file everywhere but they are not present anywhere unfortunately. 

Still thank you very much for the comment! 

Hello folks, yesterday, I tried my first ever deepsky object photoshoot, and I came back to home tryna use deepskystacker. 

I have successfully followed the steps of the deep-sky-stacker guide by astrobackyard https://astrobackyard.com/deep-sky-stacker-settings/ 

However, after a long time for my photographs to stack, I faced a problem. 

As I attached in the attachment, the screen is just grey and it seems as if there is no picture that is stacked as a result. Could you please help me ? 

Thank you
