Astrophoto stacking

[Tony77]

Hi guys

I have a manual winding mechanical type astro-tracker that takes up only 1 hour of integration, to do more hours of integration you need to reload the timer and manually return to the position it assumes after one hour of integration and so on for the following hours. .

Obviously the position will not be precise so I have a set of type 50 photos aligned and others and 50 slightly shifted due to the timer reload time and subsequent rotation of 15 ° back to find the position after 1 hour.

My question is does the program manage to do all an alignment if I load a set of 50 photos from the first shot and 50 from the second?

Anyone who has any information for me?

Hello

yes I have seen this video and in one section it talks about what I am looking for but it clearly says that the second set must be aligned by hand, but its second set is completely shot upside down and out of alignment.

My second set of shooting is a few degrees moved due to repositioning, I wanted to know if the software can make up for that small difference by making a single stack with two "slightly" misaligned sets.

Hi @Tony77,

I've raised this internally with one of our product experts who have advised on the below:

This should in theory work. We account for meridian flip, the alignment is based on the star detail so as long as the framing is similar it should align.
