[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 741704, member: 48483"] TT: You are right in that it is all learning curve. You may be surprised how quickly those lessons will take. I have been finding that Sequator is not as good with the deep-space stacking and may leave the image looking just a bit fuzzy. I actually revisited 2 images I originally stacked with Sequator and make a new attempt at with DeepSkyStacker. One thing to remember is to look through all of your images being stacked and toss away the ones that have visible motion blur. They seem to sneak in to your imaging series no matter what. I also have RegiStax on the PC for doing work with planets. I restacked 50-odd photos of the moon from last February with RegiStax and I am much happier with the result. I personally am settling in on Sequator for wide-angle, DeepSkyStacker for7 deep-space objects (and comets), and RegiStax for solar system objects (other than comets). So my 7 months of learning curve with Andromeda goes like this: December 2019 right after buying my tracker. [ATTACH=CONFIG]344052._xfImport[/ATTACH] February 2020, still figuring it out. [ATTACH=CONFIG]344049._xfImport[/ATTACH] July, 2020 while photographying NEOWISE. Original stack attempt by Sequator [ATTACH=CONFIG]344050._xfImport[/ATTACH] Then I threw out about 3 images from the pool and restacked with DeepSkyStacker (same series of photos) [ATTACH=CONFIG]344051._xfImport[/ATTACH] I'm tempted to edit each original photo and export as .PNG to stack in RegiStax just to see what more I can do with it. Not sure if I am that ambitious. [/QUOTE]
