Description

With a clear-sky window of only an hour or so, I tried to take a few images of the Moon to later be stacked in AutoStakkert, which would be my first time using the software. I haven't got a high-framerate camera so I had to settle with the DSLR.

Two things, I've learnt from that night:
  • The ASIAir is pretty rubbish at lunar photography and massively stretches what you see in the app which lead to a lot of faff with PIPP trying to sort out the histogram, debayering and FITS to TIFF file types.
  • AutoStakkert is really hard to get right, at least with my jumpy Moon images!


Ever since the latest ASIAir update, the ASIAir Plus that I use has been extremely sluggish and it's now quite tempting to go down the mini-PC route as the whole thing has become a bit unreliable, we'll see though!
