I just bought an RC6 and I’m new to AP and APP. This is a great shot! Could you explain more details on how you achieved this result (#frames, tracking? Dithering?). What do you do in photoshop to finalize the image after app? Thanks!!!!!

Hello: Thanks for your interest, the process is a bit long to expose.
During acquisition if I run "Dithering" every other shot, for the cooled and modified Canon550D camera I use BackYardEos as acquisition software. The monitoring is through the RC-6 "and OAG + QHY5II-L and PHD2 software.
The stacking with APP, possibly the best in this aspect that I have used, the Dark, Flats, DarkFlats, Bias and BabPixel masters also generated by APP and the final processing I usually do with StarTools version RC1 that already has GPU support and finally some adjustments with Photoshop, I use some actions Annie'sAstroActions and AstronomyTools. Health.
