Thank you for making this video! Most videos I tryed finding were full disc images or taken without a telescope! I appreciate this because I am trying to start astrophotography and this definitely helped whether or not it worked because you still gave some tips to help get a better telescope image. I am very thankful!
Thanks for the video Dylan. The last time I did a video of a planet or the moon was over three years ago and I used Registax. I tried to use it again and remembered how complicated it was and saw that many people were using AS2. I followed your tutorial and it was much simpler than Registax ever was. I tried to Drizzle but I ran out of space, my 12 Gb of ram apparently is not enough. I am going to try some soloar imaging soon so I figured I would get some practice with the moon. - Thanks Kurt
Hi Dylan, thanks very much for this brief but concise tutorial. It got me off the ground, and I feel much better prepared to capture more data and run with it.
Thanks Dylan. I found this most helpful. I used single frames on AS!2 and it worked fine too. And thankyou for telling us where to find the finished file!! :)
superb video - Ive been using registax for years and stumbled over this yesterday and tried it on some footage I took last night - simply stunning. Brilliant thanks for this.
Thank you for posting this. I really enjoy your channel and content. It's been really interesting and helpful while learning astro and solar photography.
Can multiple single full frame images of the moon NOT obtained from a video be stacked with Autostakkert!2 or 3? Is there a tutorial on the method one should use? If I use video with my Asiair Plus and the ZWO ASI533MC-Pro camera I get a maximum resolution of 2-megapixels. However, the camera is 9-megapixel. So, the video clips the moon, while full frame does not.
Great vid. Would you mind saying what size in pixels you r typical input files are? I think I am not getting as good of results as I do not have high res source files.
Great video! Followed step by step but I've done something wrong, as I can't find the final file. It isn't located in the original folder where I had my photos. I'll keep searching! Thanks again for sharing the video.
My guess is that the file type you used is not supported by AutoStakkert. Try using the program PIPP to pre process your MVI file and have it save as either a bunch of TIF files or one AVI video.
I know this is a 6 year old video but you are able to use a native MacOS app called Wine to run Autostakkert without needing to run Parallels which easts a lot of RAM and physical storage.
Nice vid!! I'm now tempted to try this program. Your image seems larger than usual - any tidbits on the equipment and camera you used? Seems like you're dialed in nice and close to Tycho. Also, you collected in RGB as opposed to B&W?
Hi David, and thanks! This would be from the mono ASI ZWO 174mm .. which is quite a small chip but a decent resolution. I use a C9.25" Edge HD scope. Not sure on ideal settings for your cam for gain/gamma BUT I recommend trying extreme settings for both and testing results / checking histogram. Then you'll know :)
I have a cheap laptop..(Windows Nextbook)..Im so happy to hear about other programs like this because Registax kept giving me an Error that said ED3567886 LOL! I WAS SO AGGRAVATED. I don't have alot of CPU Power So im using only 3 images MAX... What would be yhe best bet for cpu power
There isn't a lot of need for CPU during acquisition .. just for processing really. I do all mine on macbook pro's .. though have to run parallels for the windows stuff.
4 years later and this is still extremely useful! thank you.
Just the facts without too much fluff. Thank you for a straightforward tutorial!

That's great to hear! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment to say it made a difference :)
Hey thanks for this bud! I was a little nervous diving into astrophotography but this makes it look not all that difficult! At least for starters
Thanks Dylan. That was an excellent tutorial - very easy to follow you through the program steps.

Excellent, I'm glad it helped Jane!
very straight forward and nice demonstration, definitely helped me.

Brilliant thanks for this.
I'm so glad it helped! It feels a little bit like magic when you get a handle on stacking and lucky imaging.
Underrated video tbh, you did a fantastic job
Thank you for posting this. I really enjoy your channel and content. It's been really interesting and helpful while learning astro and solar photography.
Hey thanks Shawn.. I'm glad it's helping !
Thanks man! Just followed you along with my rig and bob's ya uncle!! Simple and easy to follow. Many thanks dude. Clear sky's
Wow great video, thanks Dylan!
This helped immensely, I'm off and running. Thanks!
Good to hear!
@@DylanODonnell here's one of my first stacks that turned out twitter.com/kk6vxx/status/1417247446489460738?s=20
Dylon have you tried the Planetary System Stacker? It works on the Mac but is a pain to load.
I haven’t !
Hello when i put the video in the analyze button is greyed out and i cant even analyze the frames. Any solutions?

Thank you, Dylan. This was most helpful!
Oh good, I'm glad!
when i tried to sharpen it in registax, only the area in the image stabilization box would sharpen. whats with that? thanks.
Hi Dylan, great video. If I may, when you use a CCD for DSO, what do you use to stack and get a final image from the AVI video? Thanks
Can capture this with a manual Alt/azimuthal mount?
Great tutorial Dylan, thank you sir! :)
Great video! Followed step by step but I've done something wrong, as I can't find the final file. It isn't located in the original folder where I had my photos. I'll keep searching! Thanks again for sharing the video.
It's sorta weird how it creates the subfolder then you can't find it.. trips me up all the time :)
Please help, I am using version 2.6.8 , after drag and drop image Analyse button is still disabled.
What kind of movie file did you drag and drop? I’ve tried dropping an MVI but it keeps telling me “no valid files dropped” What am I doing wrong?
My guess is that the file type you used is not supported by AutoStakkert. Try using the program PIPP to pre process your MVI file and have it save as either a bunch of TIF files or one AVI video.
Joseph D thanks. I’ll give it a try
Hi Dylan - are you aware of any great Mac programs to do stacking of the moon?
Unfortunately not! I do my planet stacking in AS!2 .. still on a mac but running in windows in parallels.
Registax - www.williamwinters.com/registax-and-autostakkert-on-osx
How do I do it with t he whole disc of the moon?
And I'm just using a tripod. will this program work?
Yup :) change change to planet instead of surface.
It wont let me hit "analyze" after placing the green square?
Great tutorial!

Found it! LOL... just a user related issue. Thanks again!
my analze button is not showing after converting it in pipp
Do you always have to use videos on this?
Thank you Dylan
No worries !
Thanks was struggling with thst
here the analyze option is disabled after opening the video
Thank you!

Nice man thanks
No worries :)
Found it :)
There you go!
