Stacking Problems

#1

Post by RMSQueenMary »

I used Live Stack and somehow I had stacking problems. I used Revolution Imager R2 and set it at 5.12 seconds. Looks like it is not stacking correctly as I can see multiple stars.

Looks like it is not aligning - maybe it is not finding enough stars to align or perhaps you have the alignment option turned off? Check out the alignment tab of the stacking control for more info and make sure that at least 10 stars are being detected.

cheers,

Alignment was turned on. I set it to minimum of 10 stars.

Ok, did you look in the alignment tab to see how many stars were actually being detected?

thanks,
