In this tutorial I'm going to teach you how to use Deep Sky Stacker. Deep Sky Stacker is a free piece of software used by astrophotographers all around the world to stack their images.
This tutorial will assume you know nothing about stacking, or how to stack! I'll cover what stacking is, setting up Deep Sky Stacker, light frames, stacking your first proper image, what it looks like in an editor and then building on how to add in calibration frames and what those are exactly.
I hope this video is of use to you and that you come away from it more informed and ready to tackle your astrophotography journey!
PS. Messy hair - don't care!
