How Do I (or can I?) change the default stacking time for Smart HIstogram

[VinnyV84]

Hi! Wondering if its possible to change the default parameter of 1 hour stacking time for the smart histogram. I am new to EAA and really want to use this tool however I am unsure if this default setting of 1 hour stack time will impact the image negatively if I stack for only 20-30 minutes on an image. Thanks in advance for any info!

Hi,

yes, there's a 'Total stacking time' dropdown where you can choose a selection of lengths like 30min and 2hr and so on. However, that won't actually change the recommended exposure/gain settings - all it will do is alter the number of frames that are going to be captured and change the graph that tells you how faint an object you will be able to see.

Because that setting doesn't affect the calculations for best exposure/gain, it's relatively rare to actually both with adjusting it.

cheers,

Robin
