StuartT Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) I have been trying out Registax on 6 or 7 lunar images (just to see if I can get it working), but I am not managing to get an aligned image when stacking. I'm setting the align points to around 350-400. There is some slight movement in the images (i.e. the moon is not precisely always in the same place in the image), but I assume that's ok. Otherwise what is the 'align' step for? Is there a maximum amount of movement between images that it just won't be able to cope with maybe?

CraigT82 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I'd recommended you use Autostakkert 3 for alignment and stacking, it's way way better than registax for this. Registax is still useful for wavelet sharpening though, and it's got a really useful RGB histogram balance tool that works well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigella Bryant Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Yeah, autostakker 3 for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lazy Astronomer Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Another vote for autostakkert!3 - it's the default option for stacking lunar and planetary images. I find it much easier to use than Registax for stacking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartT Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Ooh! Thanks everyone. I'd not heard of autostakker. I'll check it out. 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrosharkey Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Use AUTOSTAKKER for stacking, have registak open in the background, tick box in Autostakker to have image open in registak for wavelet sharpening 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
