Update May 21!
I am slowly in the process of demonetizing all my videos, I was never in it for the money or the glory. I just like to help people. This way you can rest assured i'm not making a video only to trigger an algorithm or as click bait. I have been a bit disillusioned with it all lately, and hopefully this will help.
Instead if you wish to support me you can buy me a coffee or beer instead :) entirely your choice though!

This video is all about basic stacking for astrophotography, it goes into a bit of the theory of stacking and will show you how to do a stack in Deep Sky stacker. Also why are more frames better than less frames. Basically its the stacking for beginners primer !
Its also my birthday today :D
(luna makes a quick appearance)
Points to take away:
-“stacking does not reveal more data that isn’t there in the first place” it’s up to you how long your exposures are...but if you don’t do a long enough exposure to capture that faint and fuzzy detail in the first place, no amount of stacking will bring that out.
-stacking allows us to reveal faint stuff by preserving its signal while we smooth out the surrounding noise
-so basically more subs please (of sufficient exposure length 😉)

This is an excellent demonstration of how stacking can impact the signal-to-noise ratio of your photos, and the importance of having a large stack of data to start with. The a few rejected frames on a small stack will lead to a grainier image when compared to a few rejected frames on a large stack. I've been saying it for years that integration time is important, and that's why having a quality mount matters. Better frames, larger stacks, excellent imaging! Enjoy your birthday weekend!

Super helpful video here Stace - so many channels go into really advanced tutorials but this is perfect and the result you got looks awesome! Can I ask if this was a tracked image? And how do you work out how long a typical frame needs to be before the point of diminished returns happen? (Or is it just using the 500 rule and then assume any total exposure time above, say 30 minutes) is past the point?) Thanks in advance and happy belated birthday 😂

Fantastic video!!! Just what I needed as I am a beginner and trying to learn everything fast. Definitely gained a sub! Quick question, is it best to kind of just experiment with how many frames is the sweet spot for your camera? Or will the ideal amount of stacked frames vary night to night based on settings and objects I'm shooting? Just seems overwhelming to me not know how many to aim for. Thanks again!
@tylerkrasavage5656

Nicely explained and Happy Birthday! As well as using the auto save tiff, do you do any enhancement in DSS and then saving another tiff for stretching in PS? (Just asking as that was the way I was shown).
@AstroStace
@AstroStace 4 года назад
Good question! No I was taught never to do any enhancement in DSS because it’s great at stacking and that’s about it :) so I just save as a 32/16bit tiff and head straight for my post processing program :)

Great video, one question, what if the target is not centred in every frame? Will this wreck the stack? Do you need a guide camera?
@AstroStace
@AstroStace 4 года назад
Yeah don’t worry too much if it’s a little bit off, you will just have jagged areas at the edges of the stack where it has aligned on the target :) you don’t always need a guide camera, but as I was told by my mentor, guiding is the key to deep sky :)

Hello, do you need a tracker on your telescope? Or will it sort it out in the program.
@AstroStace
@AstroStace 4 года назад
Hello Neil :) generally you do need a tracking mount to get long enough exposures to stack . But if you’re taking wide shots of the Milky Way or constellations you don’t always need a tracker. You can start off with a fixed tripod, shoot loads of shots and then try stacking it :)
@neiltonks
@neiltonks 4 года назад
@@AstroStace awesome. All very new to this. Only got.my telescope yesterday and haven't even got the camera to mount on it. ( It's in the post) Another question if I may be so bold, what would be the best object to attempt to photograph first? If it helps the camera will be a Nikon D3100 and the telescope is nothing posh. It's a 114AZ no tracking . . . Yet
