The mechanics of processing the moon, sun, or planets vary slightly in process and equipment, but they all contain these steps. These are the major steps involved in processing a solar system image. In this case, I won’t be covering the fine details of how to use each and every program used in the process, but will talk about the basic workflow that applies to any software you do this with. This article will be focusing on lunar stacking. Those process of stacking deep sky and solar system images is completely different, but the end goal is the same – to bring out as much fine detail in an image while cancelling out digital noise. With each additional stacked image, more signal is added to the final image while background noise is reduced. Stacking – whether for deep sky or solar system – is the process of taking multiple images of the same object and digitally combining the images to increase the signal to noise ratio. These days, several shorter exposure are stacked together to create a final image. Unlike the days of film, there are no longer single 30+ minute exposures of celestial objects taken. Stacking is a very familiar process to most astrophotographers. To see processes available in Siril please visit this page.To stack, or not to stack? Most astrophotographers will agree it’s necessity with deep sky images, but is it really necessary for lunar imaging when the moon is so big and bright in the sky? There are a lot of single frame photos of the moon that show incredible detail, so is it really worthwhile going through the process of taking dozens, or even hundreds or thousands of images and then stacking them? Are the results really that visible? In this article, I we’ll go through the process of stacking a lunar image and see the results at each step along the way.
Now should start the process of the image with crop, background extraction (to remove gradient), and some other processes to enhance your image. The increase in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is proportional to \displaystyle. This is the simplest algorithm: each pixel in the stack is summed using 32-bit precision, and the result is normalized to 16-bit. Siril proposes several algorithms for stacking computation.
Go to the "stacking" tab, indicate if you want to stack all images, only selected images or the best images regarding the value of FWHM previously computed. The final step to do with Siril is to stack the images. Convert your images in the FITS format Siril uses (image import).WARNING: THIS IS AN OLD DOCUMENTATION MADE FOR EARLY VERSIONS OF SIRIL 0.9.įor Siril 1.0, see the tutorials and other resources on.
