    Many thanks. For a complete DSLR beginner you've answered all of my questions. Enjoyed listening. Find it very clear and relaxing.

    Thank you Mr OldGazer for your patience and time showing us your experience. 🙏🏽 I think calibration frames do help a lot but its nice to see someone practical that enjoys his way of doing stuff even when he knows other ways… keep up to good work!

    Perhaps the best tutorial I have come across on the deep sky stacker till date.
    Please make a video on sequator.
    Thank you and good wishes.

      Thank you. I’ll have to learn a bit more about sequator before I try that one

    Nice job, Larry. As I am starting Deep Sky Photographing right now, this video gave me some very useful hints! Keep on running this Channel, i‘m looking forward to the next videos… 👍👍👍

    I agree with your assumption that the hobby can become dull without adding astrophotography as a compliment. Thanks for simplifying the process. I think it is a good starting point for those thinking about getting started.
    I live in a bortle 7-9 city and went ahead and bought a 10 inch dob. Was pleased with the purchase, ive seen many star clusters, planets, etc. Ring Nebula was so awesome to find for the first time!
    The brightly colored images of nebulae on YT might unfortunately discourage beginners who expect those same views in a telescope, esp from the city. I had some photographic equipment and did try to take Orion Nebula. Very challenging in the city without a star tracker. So that's what I bought next. Unfortunately I do not see Polaris on the same side as Orion so my rough northern alignment allows me to take just 10 second exposures with my 400mm lens.
    I did stack with calibration frames and it was decent for a first attempt. Even at that, you are limited on what unmodified dslr's will capture due to the IR sensor. At one point, you just have to be satisfied that you're seeing more than what you would have seen in a telescope. You can always buy more accessories, better mounts, cameras, filters etc. There doesn't seem to be any end to it. But I suppose there just isn't any substitute for dark skies. Those are a good 3 hours away by car so not all that convenient for me, especially during the work week.

    Thanks Larry for showing this, i saw a few video's on youtube already about this but i found it to difficult or to technical. Now i see this i think i am also ready for trying it

    Paul, actually I have done some stacking in affinity photo. Simple to use and seems to work pretty well and I may switch from DSS to Affinity for stacking.

    Good Morning Larry, thank you for taking the time with these five brilliant videos, as an older beginner found it invaluable. I have also got Affinity Photo and to-date I have only used it for some very very basic processing, however, I have noticed that Affinity photo has a stacking feature, have you ever tried it ?. The reason for my question is that all my computers are Apple, which, for some reason doesn't have much in the way of stacking apps. Thanks again Larry.

      Please accept my apology for taking so long to respond to your comment. I've taken some time off but will be back with another video very soon. I have used the stacking feature in Affinity Photo and have found that it produces stacked images that seem to be pretty much as good as the ones I get from Deep Sky Stacker.

      @@oldgazer7200 Good Morning Larry, Please no need to apologise, hope your enjoying your break from your channel. You actually did reply four months ago but on someone elses post. So I should be thanking you for your previous reply which I didn't notice. Anyway back got the subject. I have since tried stacking in Affinity Photo and it says can't align photos what ever that is. 😂😂

    Excellent tutorial
    One trouble I have is my picture come very red after stacking and my raw pictures are beautiful ok
    It so red I can’t fix anything on siril procesing

      There is were you have to play with the individual color balance levels. Also, make sure the camera is set to daylight. I know my cannon was giving me red backgrouns when i had it set to night time. Also, i find GIMP easier to use then siril. Its also free, you may like it.
