Based on the latest post by Alfred and Mark's interesting "tips" on AS3 in it...is anyone interested in posting more of their stacking tips and tricks or useful links?
I use:
-Cropped Image
-Enhanced Tracking
-Stack 25% (I see no benefit in bigger stacks and usually worse, but my seeing is rarely really good)
-AP Size 48
-Save as TIFF (so I get more data in to work with later
-I use the Free Field to record capture details such as which scope and associate settings
I think I'm really interested in see how to interpret the Quality Graph.
Cheers,

Re: AS3 Tips and Tricks Thread?
Yes, I too found Mark's description of the quality interesting, I never knew you could read it, especially click control on the graph to tell you the quality.
I usually stack 5% every time, any more and the images are blurred. I didn't know you could check the quality.

Re: AS3 Tips and Tricks Thread?
I have found Mark's description in "Using settings in Autostakkert 3" 28 April 20
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=27888
as well as his insights into using the AS3 quality graph in Alfred's post 21 May 20 really helpful. Can I suggest putting them in the library?

Thanks for the nice summary of useful functions. I will try the enhanced tracking and free field.

Re: AS3 Tips and Tricks Thread?
Here's the link to Alfreds thread viewtopic.php?f=4&t=28171
I just wish it would record the final stacked quality value in the free field, that would make choosing the best quality image really easy.
I'll copy this thread into the library as it has all the links in now.
