stacking moving objects?

[Keith_Roberts]

Hi all, hope someone give me some advice. So I captured this Iss solar transit, but I would like to try and improve the Iss if I can, trouble is, transit was less than a second, I have used photoshop the split the mp4 into jps's obviously only about 30 (if that) frames contain the Iss, is it possible to stack those frames relevant to the Iss?

Iss Solar Transit 17 seconds in (for half a second, blink and you will miss it )

No idea with the moon in the background, have you tried auto stakkert and place the alighnment boxes on just the iss?

Hello Keith.

That must have taken some planning!

Would it be possible to stack the frames and freeze the position of the ISS in your image using the comet mode in Deep Sky Stacker?

Just guessing here!

And welcome to the forum.

I would use AutoStakkert! 3 and use the manual identification feature where you select all of the anchor points around the ISS so that AutoStackerk! knows what to enhance.

Or.

The way I would do it, and I don't know if you have the software that will allow this, but I would enhance each image that has the ISS in it to highlight the ISS. Then in Photoshop I would use the mask feature to mask in all of the different positions of the ISS across the face of the sun, if that is the type of image you would like to go for.

Cheers,

Thank you, I may try it, btw, it is not the moon, it is the Sun.
