Livestack and autostretch

#1

Post by mgutierrez »

Hi,

I'm starting to play with livestacking.

I just wanted to know if it possible to apply an autostretch automatically on every new stack generated. Otherwise I have to press the button manually, is that right?

Hi,

you have to press the auto-stretch button manually for each new stack. Sometimes you will find you need to press it part way through too, especially if conditions change during the stack leading to the light pollution level in the stacked frames increasing or decreasing.

cheers,

Robin

Hi Robin,

Thanks for the reply. I would like to propose this as a feature, if you consider it appropriate. For example a checkbox "Autostretch on every new stacked image" or similar.

Hi,

I often find that the auto-stretch is only the starting point for adjusting the stretch... It would be cool if it could re-calculate the autostretch and then apply any offsets made manually from the old auto-stretch values, so that manual adjustments would stay.

I'll keep it in mind.

cheers,

Robin
