BEST PICTURE STACKING SOFTWARE FOR ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY REGISTRATION

Under difficult (non linear) background conditions the Sequator 0.9b is no match to the subskењ“ option in IRIS. If any suggestion, welcome to feedback to me. Many algorithms of Sequator are still in development. The distortion correction works well, about as well as the regional matching using quadratic in the IRIS star registration.

The registration of the 10 images is much faster then IRIS.

The strong light pollution makes these images difficult. I tested Sequator 0.9b on a sequence of 10 (15sec) shots of the aBoo area, taken with a Canon powershot S50 n my backyard. Not sophisticated but try to make everything simple, and hope you will enjoy. Here are some sample images taken by me in city: Sequator can support RAW input and 16-bit TIFF output, which is useful for post processing. The gradient stacking function can avoid the ground to avoid skyline blur with the rotation of the celestial sphere. When shot stars in city, by applying the filter to reduce the light pollution we can get a low pollution result like in wild. Sequator is also equipped with some interesting processing functions for star images. Almost all parameters are determined automatically & intelligently. Similar to DSS, however, is much easier for most DSLR users. Sequator can track stars on multiple images, align them and stack. I'd like to share a stacking software designed by me.
