Live stacking toofew stars
Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2020 7:05 pm
Folks
I am relatively new to astronomy. I use a 6SE with zwo 225 camera, .63 reducer,CPWI and Sharpcap Pro.
I am having trouble getting enough stars to perform a live stack with this small chip camera. I am adjusting the noise, black level and star width but everytime I am working on a image I struggle to get enough stars. I am usually getting the bare minimum of 3. I do try to use the yellow boxes to visually determine which stars I have and adjust the different levels to get more and space out.
Any thoughts. I also try and adjust the exposure and gain to pick up more stars also.
