This is amazing and very well explained. I would like to try what you presented. But I do not understand where to get 4 sets of datafiles from. Is this from a camera or from a telescope? In case its from a camera - did you utilize another RUclips guide … could you provide a link please?
It's from the camera attached to the telescope - and separated from it. ;) Light frames are the regular pictures, the other types are for calibration purposes. Just google light frames, dark frames, bias frames, flat frames.
Thanks - that's great! I have been wondering how to get the best out of my DSLR data and this is the perfect road map to follow. I have just got data on M16 and M17 and am itching to get the computer fired up to try this technique. Thank you ❤❤
Hi I have followed your instructions on my images of M16 and M17 - and I am delighted with the result! I wonder if your astro macros can be used to give an even better result? I am currently stacking data for C100 Running Chicken nebula (with data for C77 - Centaurus A galaxy yet to stack). So my question is: what's the best way to process these for a eye-catching outcome? Thanks for your help.
The process works until I try to reduce highlight brightness, I can't access blend options as there is no "Cog" showing below the histogram (Affinity 2.5.5.) please advise
When I stack my M31 data in Affinity Photo from my Sharpstar 61EDPH II, 0.8X reducer/flattener, ZWO UV/IR-Cut filter, ASI585MC Pro, 180 sec X 60, gain = 252, it is very green. Any ideas what I am doing wrong or how to fix this? Be gentle, I'm a newbie. Thank you in advance.
Video eine Katastrophe .... da nicht in Deutscher Sprache. Warum gibt es nicht mal einen Untertitel in mehreren Sprachen wählbar. Man zahlt Geld für Programme die man aber nicht einsetzen kann, da es keine Videos der jeweiligen Sprache zu Erklärung gibt. Hier geht es nicht un WhatsApp & Co. sondern um viele Euros und die sind einsetzbar da man es nicht versteht was gezeigt und in englisch erklärt wird. Traurig und mehr schade - dann sollte man das Geld komplett zurückzahlen. Bei mir über 400 EUR!

I wonder why people keep doing things difficult when you can find straight and easy ways to pop up your images! Thank you.
Affinity really excels at making automated tasks and batch work easy. Love it for astro and focus stacks.
Thank you for providing this tutorial. It has helped me immensely.

@@JoernR Thanks
@@berndf5213 flats are the most difficult. Biases are super easy

Amazing how one program, Affinity, can handle RAW processing, pixel editing, and Astro all in one.
Thanks for this. Will there be a drizzle option in the future. That’s the only thing I’m missing in the moment.
Great tutorial. Exposure time on your light frames?
Thanks for this! What I am struggling with these days is how to add Ha data to the stacked one color shot. Any hints on this?
Hello and thanks! the images was captured with an astromodified camera???
is this simpler or more useful than Siril?

After stacking in affinity. Can you edit in LR?
Can you stack astrophotography photos using affinity photo in ipad?
how on earth do u make the different frames for this

Okay, I will answer my own question. I missed the step where you chose master flat for the flat file white balance. This reduced the intense green.
Would this be good for stacking macro shots?
As in macro photography? It has focus merging (stacking), here's a tutorial: ruclips.net/video/HvMCUaGYNf8/видео.html
Nice! 🌌🌌🌌
would be nice if it would support CMD+A .. fast is fast :)
I'd like to see you perform similar on hydrogen a solar images😅
Thanks
Fab !
Drizzle feature and removing green noise please
make tutorials on photoshop aswell
I don't think that's going to happen 😉
@@JamesRitson - I really hope that's not going to happen - for very obvious reasons. 😄
Not obvious at all. Why? @JoernR
@@astrokev99 - Because James is working for Affinity, a rival of Photoshop. :)
Ah well that explains a lot i suppose! thanks @@JoernR
I am so glad I ditched Adobe :)
