Autostakkert alignment points issue

#1

Post by 1jimalexander »


I'm capturing planets:
c11 edge hd
asi224mc
ADC
Sharpcap
Autostakkert
Registax for wavelets

When I add Alignment Points in Autostakkert, the points are applied to the entire frame rather than just the target.
I'm hoping there's a simple explanation for this that doesn't require specific info about the capture.
I've tried both Surface and Planet(COG) with the same results.

Anyone else seen this?

    In the 'frame view' panel adjust the "Min brightness". I can't remember if it's up or down but just play with it until you get the alignment points where you want them.
