I have been using Deep Sky Stacker (DSS) and would like to see the following features in DSS added to Affinity Photo's Astrophotography Stacking Persona.
1 Allow the user to save and reload Astrophotography stacking settings, groups, and, files created in the Stacking Persona. This would allow adding new images from night to night and removing Groups and files that were found later to have problems. At present the user has to start over or have I missed something. This is a text file in DSS. Maybe allow the user to load and existing DSS file list.
2 Retain Stacking and RAW Options from session to session or allow user to set default values.
3 Calculate and display the total image counts for each file type in each group. Deep Sky Stacker displays this information and I have used it to find errors I have made in adding files.
4 Display the total exposure time for the Light frames for each group and the total exposure for all the groups.
5 Allow the user to save a file showing the files processed for each group. I have used this feature in DSS (Create HTML description file) to find all sorts of errors I have made in stacking.
I have been through all the tutorials I have found and have been working with 1.9.0.932 since it came out, restacking a lot of my old files. So if the functionality I have ask for above exist, please let me know. I plan to keep using Affinity Photo to stack my photos.
thanks
bob
