Registax - *WHAT* am I doing Wrong??

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi Maurizio,

Are you using the stack graph to select the amount of frames to stack ?

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Folks,

If there's anyone here who could give me a pointer with Registax, I would really appreciate it. Specifically, no matter where I set the the quality value, it just goes through and selects *ALL* the frames anyway! Obviously, the results are far from optimal unless I go through and maunally look at them all. When you have over a thousand frames, needless to say, it can be a real pain in the rear. Can anyone offer any suggestions, or vector me to a site that has some kind of tutorial on how to use the program?

Thanks,

Maurizio

Very nice, I look forward to seeing your Jupiter images when Jupiter gets near zenith, it will only get up to 49 degrees here sad

You can use the included controller buttons to focus, add a handheld wired switch to control it, or use a computer to control it.

Jupiter caught between the houses

Hi Alan,

Very! nice with good color, what was the frame rate and did you have
to set the gain very high, I'm curious as to how efficient the
Unibrain 400i is.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
