Tractor Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I'm into astrophotography a bit and would be much better at it if I could use photoshop and similar programs more effective. Anyone have any suggestions on how to learn. The most important part of astro processing is combining say 50, 3 second exposers into a single image of 150 seconds of light exposer. I've even downloaded a number of image stacking programs that are suppose to make this process easy, but I can never get them to work properly. Any ideas?

TTQ B4U Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Have you tried Using Registax? I've not used it but those that I've seen have had excellent results. http://www.backyardvoyager.com/registax1.html You might also look into the forums at cloudynights (http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?Cat=) - you have to register just like CR, but it's worth it. Just like CR Another good site is run by a guy named Samir who is a contributor at dpreview amongst other places....not sure if you surf there or not? http://www.samirkharusi.net/sub-exposures.html His site is huge and has a ton of info on the matter. Great sample shots too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Yeap tried all programs that were free from cloudynights.com and also tried registax. I can't seem to get them to work. I have used one a long time ago that was very simple that did work, but it was a free trial and cost $40 to buy it. I hadn't seen Samir's site yet. Thats some very useful information on that page. Really explains a lot in technical terms that I can use. Thanks. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
