Does DeepSkyStacker work with Sony a6100?

Does DeepSkyStacker 4.2.2 work with Sony a6100 camera?  If not, any suggestions for me?

AFAIK, DSS shouldn't care what camera you use, as long as it can handle the image files. It produces. Most such cameras can produce RAW or JPEG or both. I'm not sure whether DSS can handle Sony RAW, but if not,  you could convert them 16-bit TIFF.

Generally,  JPEGs are considered to be too "lossy", but depending on your target and how good the JPEG files produced by your camera are, they may be good enough for use in DSS.

Give it a go and good luck. 🤞

The RAW files created by the DSLRs are decoded using LibRaw.

So yes if your camera is listed.
