How to use BYE for live stacking of DSO's

[dippinggrizzly]

I would like to know if and how I could use BYE for live view stacking (EAA) of deep sky objects.  I do see that stacking can be used as a focusing aid using short exposures, but I would like to do EAA live stacking of DSO's in the 5 to 10 second range per sub.  Can this be done?

I am using a Canon eos 1000d camera mounted to my scope and have tried "Astrotoaster" for live stacking EAA, but the software has too many problems and crashes often.

BYE does not do Live Stacking, even for focus assist. You might want to look at some other software, like SharpCap.

You can use DSS-Live along with BYE/BYN.

The current versions of DSS are available at:  https://github.com/deepskystacker/DSS/releases/latest

This will install both DSS.EXE and DSS-Live.EXE

Set your DSLR and BYE to generate JPG files (or RAW+JPG) to the BYE Download Folder.

Set DSS-Live to monitor the PC Folder where you have set the BYE Download Folder.

DSS -Live will monitor that Folder and create a Stacked Image every time it detects an additional JPG File.
