Simply by left-clicking on the image at the spots you want additional points,Īnd rt-clicking on unwanted points removes them. On Jupiter and 150-200 on the moon or sun. I like to have about 30 points on Saturn, 70-75 The 6 APS selected and the slider moved to the right a bit. Make sure you are selecting strong points, so the weakest-strongest Them and I find that Registax 6 does a better job than me.Īlignpoints button and Registax will select the points. Again this is your choice.ĪPS! I have tried manually selecting points and letting Registax 6 selecting Varies in brightness and since I’ve seen no problems using it with good data, I Setting you will need to press "SET ALIGNPOINTS" again. This can be achieved by changing the method or by changing the LO-HI intensity settings, after changing the Or - for planets - too close to the edge of the planet.

The Intensity_section should be set in such a fashion that no alignpoints are in complete black parts of the image Default is used for most images, but for planets and for other images with large black areas it is important The Intensity_section has 3 possible settings.

Min distance from edge, can be left at it’s default value, 20. Take longer to process, so you have to decide what looks right. I have processed a solar image withĦ00 APS and 175 APS and found no difference in the final image. In general, with a given sizedĪlignment points (APS) you will have. The number of alignment points will differ based on the size of the object on your image. For Jupiter I’ll set it to 15, and for the sun or For an object like Mars or Saturn, I set the Minimum distance between At this point you have a couple of decisions to After 5 years of doing this I have gotten pretty good at it.ĭrop my frames onto Registax (Figure 1). I drag and drop my bmp frames onto Registax. I have tried all the readilyĪvailable stacking programs and found that this step does make a noticeableĭifference.

This software crops the frames to a more manageable size (like 400x400) andĬenters the brightest object in the frame.

Second, I like to run the frames through Ninox by Anthony Wesley. First, I feel more in control of each individual frame if I can accessīy itself. I have been doing this for several years and do so for a couple of The most important thing is not to be afraid toįiles. The reader can use these steps toĭevelop his own method. These are by no means the only or even the best way to Improvements and changes he has made with 6 versus 5. The reader will observe is that, compared to Registax 5, there are fewer stepsĪnd Registax 6 works much faster. The reader get past the basic learning curve of Registax 6. Software for over 4 months, I have come up with my own set of steps to process Part of the development team for Registax 6 from day one.
