Re: v.49165 - first live stack image
Hi Don,
the first frame in live stacking is a bit special
* It can't be rejected due to brightness or star FWHM filters
* It doesn't get aligned (because there is nothing to align with)
* Sometimes the count for this frame doesn't appear in the status (it goes straight to 2)
I spent some time a while back trying to get the count to update properly after the first frame, and made improvements, but it still doesn't always update the display correctly, although as far as I know the frame is always used in the stack.
cheers,
Robin

OK Robin, I understand. As a work around I have been using a shorter exposure for first frame and pausing and then going to the longer intended exposure and resuming for the balance of the stacks.
