Hope I have the correct forum.
I attached my Nikon D300 to my Celestron 6SE to capture the Orion nebula as my first foray into astrophotography. I used ISO 1600, shutter speed 30 seconds, captured 30 RAW images. I knew it would be just a test for learning stacking and processing software.
After I loaded the lights, darks, flats, dark flats into SkyStacker, my light frames list between 0 and 9 stars, regardless of where I set the slider in SkyStacker. It will only stack one of my light frames. Is this the result of my ISO/shutter combination, or another obvious rookie error? I can see stars in the image, although not exactly focused.
thanks for any suggestions.
