I thought yesterday's SeeStar shot of the moon was good.
But my other half also took a SeeStar video of it. Why would you take a video of a static scene? To enhance the view. He spent today fiddling around with AutoStakkert!, software to stack multiple frames to get a better image. The result is great, much crisper:
Why not just use the SeeStar to integrate over a longer time, like with other images? Well, it doesn't do that for solar system objects, so we just have to try harder.
He also played around with a solar video taken at the end of May. Here's a simple image:

And here's the result of processing the video, with much more detail visible on the sunspots:
Hi Susan,
ReplyDeleteYou can stack the video within the Seestar App too, if you recorded it in RAW-Mode. However, the result in AutoStakkert might be better, since there you can choose the percentage of the best images to be used for stacking according to the quality graph displayed.

Kurt -- thanks. Yes, the greater flexibility of AutoStakkert is definitely appreciated! (CS :-)
