DSS to stack Canon RAW files?

[jjohnson3803]

Curious if anybody stacks RAW files from a Canon with DSS and stops processing images at that point.

I'd like to try some beyond-cellphone AP, but I don't want to deal with cables, having a PC scopeside, etc. just yet, so I'm thinking a DSLR is the way to go.  I also don't want to get into a lot of complex post-processing.  I'm in heavy light pollution, so I think I'll have to do short exposures and stack to get anything of reasonable quality.

Thanks for any input.

Hi there,

I use canons, but post processing definitely doesn't stop after stacking. The stacked version doesn't look much more impressive than the single frames. 

However it doesn't have to be complicated or expensive, there are many easy guides for free software such as GIMP, starting with easy curves adjustments and such. Or there's cheap software out there such as StarTools for around £40 one off payment, which is very easy to learn and use with simple workflows.😀

Hope this helps

I use a canon 80D and stack the Raw files in DSS .. then save as FTS file ... run that file through StarTools  .. plenty of vids on utube.
