LiveStacked frames and PixInsight
Posted: Wed Aug 11, 2021 8:41 pm
Hello! I am learning to process images for the first time, using PixInsight. I am wondering about which frames to process after doing Live Stack on SC.
1. If I saved both raw and stacked frames from SC LiveStack, is it okay to process only the stacked frames to PixInsight? This seems more efficient because the live stacked frames are already calibrated, aligned, and filtered according to brightness/fwhm. Or are live-stacked photos only meant for tracking/live assessment of your data while imaging with SC?
2. If it is okay to process the live-stacked frames, can I then skip calibrating/aligning/filtering again in PixInsight since this was already done in SC?
I just want to make sure im understanding everything correctly. Not sure if PixInsight has some kind of better algorithm for calibrating/aligning/filtering.
Thank you very much for any advice!
