In this tutorial, Damian Peach shows us the main features of the two programs used to conduct live sessions of planetary imaging: Firecapture and AutoStakkert. Firecapture is used to capture videos of the planet, while AutoStakkert is used to pre-process these videos and create image stacks, which can then later be used to create color images.

This tutorial on using Affinity photo for image stacking the production of SHO narrowband images. For this tutorial, we will be using one of the Pro Datasets of the Rosette Nebula obtained with CHI-4 telescope.

In this tutorial, Nik shows how to remove the satellite trails which are commonly seen in astronomical images. This valuable technique is an alternative to the common way of removing satellite trails that involves the stacking of several images using pixel rejection techniques, such as sigma-clipping. As sigma-clipping requires at least three frames per filter, this new technique explained by Nik in this tutorial is specifically valuable for One-Click Observations, where you often have only two images per filter.
