Hello guys, welcome back to another
00:00:02
video on my channel. This is Astro Rent
00:00:05
and today I am going to show you how to
00:00:07
stack on Deep Sky Stacker. It is a
00:00:10
highly requested video from you guys. So
00:00:13
I just decided to do that video in order
00:00:16
to help you stack your data on Deep Sky
00:00:20
Stacker. So let's get into it.
00:00:26
As you can see, I am using Deep Sky
00:00:28
Stacker 5.1.10,
00:00:30
which is the latest version, stable
00:00:33
version of Deep Sky Stacker.
00:00:36
So, if you have the same version, it's
00:00:38
going to be easier for you, but I don't
00:00:40
know in the future if it's going to be
00:00:42
different. This is the version I'm using
00:00:44
right now, just to make it clear. So,
00:00:47
the first thing you want to do is to go
00:00:49
to open pixel files in order to load
00:00:52
your light frames. I have light frames
00:00:55
from Cony from my discord server. Thank
00:00:57
you so much for giving me the data for
00:01:00
this video. You can see here it is from
00:01:03
a 585 MC Pro. And I am going to select
00:01:08
it.
00:01:10
Um yeah, let me get that one as well.
00:01:15
And you can see that we have loaded 86
00:01:18
light frames.
00:01:20
Then you can see we have um some other
00:01:23
options. Dark files, flat files, dark
00:01:26
flat and offset bias. I currently have
00:01:29
dark and flat files. So I'm just going
00:01:31
to use these two types.
00:01:34
But if you use if you if you also have
00:01:37
dark, flat, and offset bias, it's going
00:01:39
to be the same process as loading your
00:01:41
dark and flat. So let's go. Let's go and
00:01:44
load our dark files. Here they are. We
00:01:48
have the master dark as well. We don't
00:01:50
need that. You're not going to have
00:01:52
ideally we're not going to have this
00:01:53
master dark because it's going to be
00:01:55
created after stacking.
00:01:58
So yeah, this is how uh we load it. We
00:02:02
also have the flat files. The same
00:02:05
process. Let me go to the folder
00:02:09
here. Flat. And we also have a master
00:02:12
flat.
00:02:14
These are basically stacked uh flats.
00:02:17
the the software has stacked all of
00:02:20
these flats like it's going to do with
00:02:22
the lights and it gets a good
00:02:25
calibration frame. So we go to open
00:02:30
and you can see that we have loaded all
00:02:32
of the files. As I said before, if you
00:02:35
have dark flat and offset bias, you're
00:02:38
going to load them as well with the same
00:02:40
way as I did with the darks and flats.
00:02:44
So the next thing you need to do before
00:02:47
registering and stacking is going to
00:02:49
options recommended. And here you are
00:02:52
going to see the recommended settings.
00:02:55
Here I have some options
00:02:58
and uh it says you're processing long
00:03:00
exposure and possibly good signal to
00:03:03
noise ratio images. You're going to
00:03:05
check this one. These are basically
00:03:07
settings that are better to use with the
00:03:11
camera, with DSLR and the data you have
00:03:14
collected. So, this is how the settings
00:03:17
are. It's going to uh show you this blue
00:03:21
stuff right here. And if you want, you
00:03:23
select that one. It's your choice. It
00:03:26
just gives some recommendations.
00:03:29
So, I'm going to click on okay and hit
00:03:32
register.
00:03:34
Here on register we have register
00:03:37
already registered pictures. I don't
00:03:40
think that's very important. You can
00:03:42
uncheck this. We have a stack after
00:03:45
registering. This is also not important
00:03:48
but I use it in order to have like a
00:03:51
more convenient way of stacking my
00:03:54
images after registering.
00:03:57
Here if we go to advanced you can see
00:03:59
the start detection threshold. This
00:04:02
thing is basically how much how many
00:04:05
stars it's going to detect while
00:04:08
registering. Registering is a process in
00:04:10
which the stars it's it basically
00:04:13
searches for the stars and uh then it
00:04:16
stacks on top of each other. So if you
00:04:19
if we compute the stars you can see it's
00:04:22
142. If you are not satisfied with the
00:04:24
number, you can reduce it like 3%. And
00:04:30
you can see more stars. It's uh
00:04:32
basically your preferences, but I
00:04:36
suggest to have more than 100 stars.
00:04:39
It's it's very important and you're
00:04:42
going to see the difference because the
00:04:43
stars are going to be better. So, we're
00:04:46
going to click on okay.
00:04:48
And uh yeah before that
00:04:52
we go here and you see that it says
00:04:54
select the best 90%. This is a number
00:04:58
you are going to type. I just typed 90%
00:05:01
of the best pictures and then it's going
00:05:04
to stack them. So with this tool you're
00:05:07
going to avoid the bad stars and
00:05:11
basically stars which might be trailing
00:05:15
out of focus stars and all this stuff.
00:05:18
So it's better. It helps me a lot with
00:05:21
my weak mount. So yeah, I suggested to
00:05:25
use. So we click on okay. And you can
00:05:28
see we have here um all of these uh
00:05:32
details about the stacking. And we also
00:05:35
have the stacking mode. You can select
00:05:38
each one of these three. The standard
00:05:40
which is you can see the result of the
00:05:42
stacking process framed by the reference
00:05:45
light frame. the mosaic which contains
00:05:48
all of the light frames. If you are
00:05:50
doing a mosaic like on the veil nebula
00:05:54
um it's very useful and the intersection
00:05:57
method which is basically framed by the
00:06:00
intersection of all the frames. You can
00:06:03
see how the picture shows it to us. You
00:06:07
also have here the enable two times and
00:06:10
three times drizzle. Drizzle is
00:06:12
basically multiplying the resolution of
00:06:16
your image. So if you want, you check
00:06:17
it. I don't really need that. So I'm
00:06:20
just going to click on standard. Click
00:06:22
okay. And you can see that this is the
00:06:25
overview.
00:06:27
After seeing all of these, you can see
00:06:29
it says no offset. If you load the
00:06:31
offset bias frames, it's going to be uh
00:06:36
like the same like the dark and flat.
00:06:38
It's not going to be red. So I'm going
00:06:41
to click on okay. And you can see that
00:06:43
it creates now the master calibration
00:06:45
frames, the master dark flat. And then
00:06:48
it's going to register and stack the
00:06:51
images. You can see here the details and
00:06:55
how the process goes. So I'm going to
00:06:57
pause and then I am going to be back
00:06:59
when this uh process finishes. Okay
00:07:02
guys, so after waiting for 10 minutes,
00:07:05
as you can see here, it also shows us
00:07:08
how many minutes it took. After waiting
00:07:11
for approximately 10 minutes, you can
00:07:13
see that I have got my stacked file on
00:07:15
the uh on the Andromeda Galaxy. So yeah,
00:07:19
this is how you stack your remote. Thank
00:07:21
you so much for watching this video. If
00:07:23
this helped you, leave a comment down
00:07:26
below and tell me what questions do you
00:07:29
have.
00:07:30
everything. I don't know. So yeah,
00:07:33
um I wish you clear skies and until the
00:07:36
next video, see you.
