In this video, I show you how to processing data from your SeeStar S30 or S50 using only FREE programs (SIRIL + GraXpert + StarNet2). This is the best methodology I have worked out from years of testing. If you have already watched this video or already have all the programs and know how to stack the data, you can proceed straight to the processing section here: 06:55
