Live Stacking in BYEOS


lenrabinowitz

Question

All:

How does one do live stacking in BYEOS?  I know it is that HD button, but don't know anything after that.  Is it planetary imaging or frame and focus?  What do I do with those various sliders that come up?  What settings on the camera do I use?  Any tips and tricks?

Thanks!

Len

This is irrelevant to your camera settings; it is just applied to the live view image to aid focusing, it is not in planetary.

Most people do not need to use these settings.

To live stack use this slider.

Ok thanks!  That slider is just controlling the number of images stacked, correct?

Yes, and it is only to help you when the only thing you have to focus on is a very dim star.

Most people don't use it because the is usually a bright star nearby you can use to focus.

The reason that most people don't use LiveView for live viewing of astronomical objects is that the exposure time (just a few milliseconds) is not long enough to bring out any detail except from perhaps a few solar system objects. It does work well for quickly focusing on bright stars. So, you can use it for live viewing of bright stars, but point it at a dimmer object and you won't see very much at all.

If only Canon would allow slowing the frame rate and increasing the exposure of LiveView images...

Ok thanks!  So people use it for focusing?  Funny- I was going to use it for live viewing!

You can use it for live viewing, but remember that a DSLR is not meant to have live view activated for long period of time.  The camera has built-in safety feature to prevent over heating and live view will eventually turn off automatically after about 15-20 minutes.
