Stacking Problems

[Chris M48]

When trying to stack 10 subs (300s x 800iso) I end up with each star in triplicate side by side.
The tracking with PHD seems ok and resulting images show nice round stars.
I'm stacking with DSS beta.

Any Ideas what might be cauing this?

Thanks.

What's your settings in DSS? what way are you trying to stack?

Possible false stars caused by hot pixels.

Look in the faqs under stacking.

When you try to stack in DSS make sure you click on recommended settings, usually it will give you a few things to click on to get the alignment better.  Try clicking on Automatic alignment as opposed to bilinear.  Mess with the settings, see what you can get from it.  Lot of stuff to change some pictures still seem to give me that trouble.

what stacking method are you using? 

Be sure that it is not mosaic.

Sorted Thanks. Changed incorrect setting in DSS alignment to Auto and hey ho.
