Official StarTools support forum

Hi, I am not sure if this has been asked before, But i am interested to find out what stacking program is best suited for StarTools, Is there a stacking program that StarTools is basically designed for? Like Deep Sky Stacker, ASTAP ? I see there are some like Astro Pixel Processor, but they tend to ...

Yes it does + i finally jut managed to find out a bit more about it.
i was originally thinking about it all wrong, 50% is Bin2, but you just zoom in and keep moving the sider until the stars are no longer blocky.
All good, very much appreciated.

Hi, Sorry if I have got this in the wrong place here. Just a simple question I hope in regards to binning. I have been told it is best to bin after you have done all the stacking rather than trying to bin as you are imaging. So I want to bin my project 2X or bin2 I see when I click on bin I have the...

Will have to put all this into practice and see how things go.
Cheers.

I take it that you still only bin before you start the processing work like Auto Devo?

Thanks again.

Hi, first sorry about yet another Binning question, I have the basic understanding but i am just trying to figure out how to best get my processing right. So basically i have been using the astronomy.tools site to work out my arcseconds per pixel The figures say that Ideal resolution is 0.67" - 2" a...

Thanks for the reply,
I will check out GIMP for adding the text.
Thanks again, Appreciated.

Hi, I was interested to know if there is a way to add a text description to the final image after you have finished processing it? I have an image of the Orion nebular that i have finished processing using StarTools, and was trying to find a away to add a text description that it is the Orion nebula...
