I'm high in the Swiss Alps at the moment and have some really good starry skies and scenery. I want to do some photography of it and am wondering about starry landscape tracker. Has anyone used this before? I've used registax for stacking astro images before but for landscapes this definitely seems to considerably streamline the process. Whatever I end up using I'll make sure to post the results here. Did you mean a tracker to follow the sky, so you don't get star trails?

If so, there are many available such as the popular iOptron Skytracker. Of course tracking the sky for sharp stars means a blurry landscape, but there is s half speed mode on the iOptron which is a compromise. Not sure why you feel you need to stack images to get a decent photo of the night sky. If you follow the “rule of 500,” you should be able to get nice images without stacking.
Of course, the correct ISO & aperture come into play. Not sure what camera you’re dealing with, but ISO 1600 or 3200 would be a good place to start, depending on the lens selected. Finally, it’s my opinion (& experience) that post-processing is as important as image capture when it comes to night sky photography. You may need to blend 2 or more images to get correct exposure of the foreground and the sky, but that’s not really “stacking.” BTW, I have not used Starry Landscape Tracker. I did view the how-to portion of the program’s posted info and am not convinced that it does anything that can’t be done in PS alone.

Steve I mean something to align stars from multiple exposures on my computer. Jforkner wrote: Not sure why you feel you need to stack images to get a decent photo of the night sky.

I can get perfectly decent shots of starry skies, but I always like less noise and I would have said stacking pretty undeniably achieves that. Yes, I could do it in photoshop, but Starry Landscape is a couple of quid, registax is free and photoshop is a pretty expensive monthly subscription. Dheorl wrote: I'm using a GH3.

It is much easier to use than RegiStax, IMO.
BTW, the word is 'stacking' not 'tracking' hence our confusion. Tracking apps and hardware are used to keep an object aligned in the FOV. Stacking apps are used to align and stack multiple images of the same object. W5JCK wrote: Dheorl wrote: I'm using a GH3.

Stacking apps are used to align and stack multiple images of the same object. DSS (Deep Sky Stacker) is an excellent program, but the OP will still need a good photo processing program to really make stacking work, either Photoshop or PixInsight. Even after stacking 30-60 frames of 2-10 minute tracked exposures, this is all you get from a stacking program.at first. The magic happens in the PP. So a good PP program will still be needed.

For stacking on computer, maybe you can try Sequator which is free and easy to use: Only simple post-processing is additional. I had got many wonderful starry landscape shots by Sequator, without any physical tracker. W5JCK wrote: Dheorl wrote: I'm using a GH3.

I'm fairly experienced at PP work but only use lightroom and very occasionally GIMP for budget reasons.
