Hey Quick question, when i stacked my photos the first time everything went good and the photos stacked. i went to stack a second set of photos and nothing is show up as a final image just the blank screen with the editing options down in the bottom left corner. iv tried stacking other photos as well with the same results any idea on whats going on ?

Awesome! Thanks for all the suggestions! i am just going to stick with the current method for now!

Hello All, Im new to the Astrophotography and need some help ! Iv been reading some threads on DDS and CR2 files but they are all about 2 years old or im just not looking hard enough for the right thread. I have a question about uploading CR2 files to DSS, I have a Canon T7i and switched the settings in the camera to take photos in RAW, they end up saving the photos as CR2 RAW files. I was reading and guess this is the way newer canon cameras save RAW files as, can someone confirm this? when I try and upload to photos to DSS I load the pictures from my photo files but nothing ever transfers to DSS I have also tried to drag and drop the photos from the files and nothing as well. the version of DSS I have is 4.2.3. I have been loading my photos into adobe Bridge and converting the files to TIFF files and stacking them that way. its not a big deal to do this as it takes little time to do, but wondering if theirs an easier way without converting the files? also is their a difference in image quality from TIFF files or Raw files or should I be converting the pictures to something other than TIFF files to stack? one more probably stupid question, Could I also process the TIFF files like Raw files in adobe Photoshop?
