Autostakkert3! How to process The Planets (Tutorial part 1)

Hi, wonderful Astroperson! Autostakkert is probably the best free software program to create stacked images from your video captures of The Planets. In this tutorial, I first demonstrate how to import, set up, and analyze the quality of your video frames in autostakkert3! I'll show you how to set up image stabilization, the quality estimator, and how to place alignment points using either the semi-automatic "Place AP grid" option versus manually placing alignment points. Next, I'll show you how to create a stacked image. This includes a discussion on how to interpret the quality graph and how to choose the number of frames to stack. I'll also discuss options to set up the reference frame, as well as the other (advanced) features that are useful to create a stacked image in autostakkert3!

I've released part 2 of this tutorial where you can further process the stacked picture of Jupiter in Registax here: https://youtu.be/SwYOnAHPWbw
