There is some software that struggles with the latest Canon RAW files but is eventually fixed with later updates, the easiest way forward is to use the free Adobe DNG converter to batch convert all your RAW files, the DNG format is universally compatible with most image processing packages.

I've been struggling with Registax6 recently, seems to crash even on the new lap top more often than i would expect.  Had some great results so perseverance is key.

In respect to work flow from Canon RAW, couple of questions and pointers.

What are you stacking, image wise.. Planet/Deep Sky or moon or??

I use Registax6 (RS6)/Autostakkert3 (AS3) for luna stacking.

My process is as follows.

• Shoot frames with Canon in Raw
• Download photos to PC
• Run RAW files through PiPP to crop and centre and quality sort the images.
• Save the files to PNG or TIFF or SER (these are compatible with RS6 or AS3)
• Upload in to RS6/AS3
• Set perimeters for % quality stacking etc.
• Run alignment and stacking
• Play with wavelets.

I don't think AS3 or RS6 takes RAW.2 or RAW.3 files, so they need converting.

If deep sky/wide field then maybe an alternate, like deep sky stacker, is better option.
