Hi Michel,

Well, that's an interesting result. It looks like the registration is going wrong here and you're telling me that without 1sec, the final stack looks ok right? That might indicate that APP is seeing some of the noise as stars, maybe or is not able to process it well for distortion correction. Could you try without correction?

It may be that the 1 sec frame has too much noise in this case. If you can also try this with 1.076 which will come out as a beta soon, that would be great. It has an improved registration engine.

Vincent, i’ll try that somewhere this week when i’m at my laptop again. I will keep the data set to try 1.076 for sure! Would be nice if that version is able to work through/with this data. I’ll let you know the results here. 

cheers Michel

Vincent,

I ran the data again without distortion correction and it worked fine. Unfortunately with the 1 sec subs added, the core is still overexposed, but i'll add more short exposures once we finally get rid of the everlasting clouds…..

Yes, this is where HDR processing will work nicely, something that might come in a future version. In the mean time you will have a bit more luck in other software I think.
