I don't have much experience in planetary but am trying to slowly add it to my night. Lots of great planets right now!
Most of the time (all?) when I try to use Autostakkert to make a stack of relatively few images, I get large green patches. As I add more images, the patches slowly reduce until they are gone. This happens with any target but is more pronounced with lunar. But its pretty annoying because I have to really examine each image closely to see what they look like and then re-try with more images. To be fair, the worst is with less than 10 images or less than about 5%. But sometimes those lower numbers of images show good results. Of course I checked the SER files and no issues there.
My camera is a DSO camera, a ZWO ASI294MC Pro. Its what I have right now and does OK. I also like the larger sensor to help find the planets before reducing the size for shooting. Still working on how to do that more reliably...
I have tried using different numbers of APs from 600+ to 260 to 10. All different green patches but all about the same number/size of them.
I have done some searches and don't see anything like what I am seeing. Thanks for any thoughts.
Attached are images at 5, 10, and 20%.
