Sequator : new kid on the block....
I have just started with AP and have tried to do some stacking with RegiStax but found it a bit overwhelming then I came across Sequator and that seems to be simple enough for me. I used it to stack 5 RAW's, taken with my Fuji XT100 , of the moon. No processing was done to the RAW's .
here is the best single photo:

Very nice, Piet.
I've never got along with stacking in Registax. Every now and then I'll have another go but always turn it off in frustration.

Looks like it did an amazing job. That is an exceptionally crisp image of the moon. Well done, and, thanks for sharing the information.

I use sequator as in deepskystacker I always end up with an image so dark that even in photoshop I can hardly get any stars to show.

Re: Sequator : new kid on the block....
I've used Sequator, which i find great for milkyway images, and DSS but but have the same "dark image issue" as mac above. I have recently moved to Astro Pixel processor which I find is very easy to use, does a great job of registering and stacking and takes you through gradient & LP removal and up to first stretches. Give the free trail a shot.

Re: Sequator : new kid on the block....
Most folks don't use Registacks anymore for stacking planetary / lunar images. The better software title to use for stacking is AutoStakkert it is so much better. And the great part is it's also free.
