Stacking Your First Narrowband Image with Free and Easy Software ASTAP

Ғылым және технология

I find processing narrowband images very satisfying and easy. One major reason is because I use ASTAP. I have heard many who have not tired narrowband complain that it might be too complicated.
That is probably because they are not using ASTAP. The wonderful thing about this software is that it stacks and combines all the different narrowband filters in one step. Now in the video I will not be showing that. I like to advise people starting out to just capture some Hydrogen data. Stacking this data is very easy and effortless.
If you have never tired ASTAP please do. It is wonderful software that has many features and a few that are found only in the most expensive software sweets. Plus it's available on any platform. DSS development team needs to get do the same.
To download it here is a link. sourceforge.net/projects/asta...

    simples to understand; great content! I'm considering an M1 Mac - is 16GB RAM adequate?

    Yes you absolutely can and ASTAP makes stacking them as easy as OSC. I have a good video on why you should try narrowband that you should watch.

    No mention of Astropixel Processor which does a much better stacking job than Pixinsight?

    @@Mistr_A So if I have light subs with temperatures that are 3x10c 5x11c 23x12c and 43x13c and I have a dark library of 20x10c, 20x11c, 20x12c, and 20x13c it could intelligently apply the darks with the same temperature to the light frames with the same temperature all automatically?

    I like Astap but find it a bit daunting in parts can you show a video of extracting ha and o111 using an lExtremevusing a osc camera, I’m ok with just stacking

    @@TheNarrowbandChannel yes mate you use them in different sessions ie multi sessions so you assign each of these to each session then you combine them all together or separately or both.

    @@gregklugiewicz5037 Ah yes that makes more sense. 6:24 is the end of the video. Anyway do you have a mono camera? Hydrogen subs are the images taken with your mono camera using a Hydrogen filter.
