Comet image processing. Opinion needed.

#1

Post by Jnicholes »





I took this video with my new computer setup. Its me processing 32 pictures of comet C/2023 P1 Nishimura with Registax. Can someone please look at it and tell me if there is anything I can do to improve my image processing abilities?

I would not use Registax for this type of processing. I would use Deep Sky Stacker because they have a specific comet stacking function.

Thanks for letting me know. Registax is all I’ve got right now, but I will try to get that program you mentioned.

I appreciate the input. At least I got a picture of the comet before it became not visible to me.
