Stacking frames including meridian flip

[Bart Bogaert]

Hi,

First I would like to express my appreciation for the work being done on this product, this is just amazing.

I have been searching a bit but did not find any immediate result.  How does Affinity deal with a stack of frames when some are taken before and some are taken after a meridian flip (so when viewing the individual files you will notice not all have the same orientation)?  Are these handled automatically by Affinity when stacking these files using the Astrophotography Stack persona?

Thanks in advance and best regards, Bart

Hi @Bart Bogaert,

Welcome to the Affinity Forums and many thanks for your kind feedback here, it's certainly appreciated

In regards to your question, I can confirm that Affinity Photo will automatically account for this and align based on matching star detail.

Meridian flip shouldn't pose any issues with alignment, as our resident expert James Ritson has verified to me that he's stacked lots of data with this applied and the stack has been aligned correctly each time.

I hope this helps!

Hi Dan,

I was assuming Affinty would take care of this but thanks for confirming.

Keep up the good work: having all pre-processing and post-processing in one application is an asset.

Regards, Bart
