Re: Stacking centered on comet nucleus

Hi,
I don't think its broken as it hasn't been touched in a long time, but it can be tricky to get the parameters right. The best way is to turn on the 'Highlight detected stars' checkbox in the alignment settings when adjusting - that will draw a yellow box on screen around what SharpCap thinks is the comet, so you can judge if the settings are getting the comet right.
If you have saved raw frames from the capture then you can try re-processing them in the SharpCap folder monitor camera while tweaking the settings.
If none of this works, then feel free to share about 5 raw frames with me so that I can test and improve.
thanks,
Robin
