Hi,
I mentioned to my buddy Ken that I was testing SkippyStak but had no data due to bad weather. He kindly gave me a set of M42 raw files shot thru a Canon T2i on a 8" scope. I tried first using the DCRAW conversion in SS and then processed the stack using StarTools to get the image below. Compare this with the image in my next message using DPP>TIFF conversion instead.
This image below was made using TIFFS generated from the original CR2s using DPP's batch convert function. I then processed the result in StarTools using the same workflow as above. You can see that the result is much better than the DCRAW version. It looks like data is being lost when DCRAW does its conversion.
