Registax Alternative

[milkyjoe]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a good alternative to Registax for Linux (Ubuntu), I have tried StarStax, but it throws an error displaying jpeg's for some reason?!

Thanks.

Dunno if it runs on Linux or not, but a few of our club imagers have turned to Autostakkert recently - might be worth looking into. :).

Thanks brantuk, it looks like Windows only

Not sure if any of the links to software on this page are helpful for a Linux user?

I haven't checked but do they work under WINE?

Autostakkert runs under Wine on my MAC with OS10 successfully. I'm afraid I don't understand the software that well, but I downloaded Autostakkert and Wine as one package and it works a treat. Much more stable than Registax I found (Registax worked well on my old windows laptop with a limited number of images, plus I still use it to sharpen images once I have stacked them in Autostakkert.

I managed to get DSS working under WINE

Failing to get things working under wine you could always try running windows in virtualbox.
