I recently picked up a ZWO ASI 16000mc-cool and am having difficulty with stacking in both PixInsight and Deep Sky Stacker.
I am able to process mono CCD files just fine in PixInsight and Deep Sky Stacker works just fine for the DSLR images I use it for.
With Deep Sky Stacker, I get it all setup and ready to go, but it can't register the images. Even by adjusting the threshold to the minimum value it is unable to find any stars.
I was using 5 minute exposures and focused with a Bahtinov mask and I have good stars (not any trailing) and have a full set of calibration frames (flats, darks, bias).
Does anyone have any ideas on what I might be missing? What would be different with this camera from that which would come form a DSLR, other than RAW vs. FITS?
Next question. I usually never used PixInsight for stacking color DSLR images because it seemed to take forever to get through the batch stacker routine. Is there a good technique for getting it work better with OSC CCD?
Thanks for any help.
