Hi Folks,

 

it's planet tea time and it would bw really lovely to see what the EAA community is capable to do with the new planetary live stacking tool so that (I) could learn from more experienced EAA amateurs how to use at best this sharpCap tool.

 

So, please post your best images with your acquisition settings, specify as well the seeing conditions.

I look forward to see your images (with all seeing conditions) and I will try to go to the observatory (even if now here in Switzerland is freezing) to try my own chance under the stars.

 

Best,

Marco

So far I have done mostly solar imaging with LiveStack. Taken with TS80 triplet and Quark and PO Apollo M Mini

Here's one sample of it.
TargetStackLength=216
HistoryLength=250
QualityFilterPercent=44

 

 

And here's one Jupiter stack. Taken with C8 and ASI678MC.

CurrentFrameCount=600
TargetStackLength=600
HistoryLength=350
QualityFilterPercent=37

Denoise=1.000

Fine=0.776

Level 1=1.600

Level 2=1.000
Level 3=1.000
Level 4=1.000

Colour correction set to:

Was out the evening of November 26th for galaxy EAA observing, but the sky hazed over. So I switched to planetary livestacking using Sharpcap.

I was able to get a half-decent stack of Saturn (like what Galileo observed 414 years ago), thru the hazy sky, and did much better with bright Jupiter:

here's the pics:

          

 

(8" f6.3 SCT optical tube on Atlas Gem, ZWO ASI294MC Pro camera & L-Pro broadband filter,

Saturn - camera ROI=320x240, 155ms exposure, 500 frames livestacked.  Jupiter = 37ms for 500 frames livestacked)

Sorry for the low quality of the animated gif. I ran it through PIPP.
