Stacking After the Fact

#1

Post by GaryS »

Hi

I'm interested to try to capture a series of DSO images using NINA and then stack them, pull them into SC and adjust them with the Histogram and possibly the 'enhancements'. Is this possible?

The reason for this is my inability to be at the computer to manage the 'live' capture process in SC but I could have a NINA's Advanced Sequencer run through 10-15 minutes of captures on a series of Targets which I could then align and stack in Maximdl (or other) and then bring into SC to manipulate as mentioned above.

thanks for your response...

Hi Gary,

yes, you can do this using the 'Folder Monitor Camera' in SharpCap which can either watch a folder and process new images files as they are added to it, or work its way through the images already in the folder. You can find out more about how to use that feature here : https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.1/#Virtual%20Cameras

cheers,

Robin

Thanks Robin. I searched the manual for Folder Camera and came up empty - never thought of searching for virtual camera.
Cheers
