Resizing your video frames with “Image Size” in the frame view window Image Stabilization In this video, we, unfortunately, don’t have any extra moons, so we can easily re-center the planet by clicking on “offset” in the frame view window. This may be useful when you have captured a couple of the Galilean moons of Jupiter that may be off-center.

You can alter this view by holding down the shift key, and left-clicking on your mouse while dragging the planet around. In “planet” mode, the planet will be automatically centered in the frame view window. For this video, let’s select a width and height of 800 pixels. You can do this by adjusting the width and height sliders in the frame view window, or by typing a value next to the sliders in the value box. You can significantly speed up the processing speed in autostakkert by decreasing the width and height of the video in the frame view window so that it only encompasses the planet. Processing and Frame View Window of Autostakkert3! Drag and drop videos in the frame view window Open video files by clicking on “open” in the processing window Resizing a video Either one of those steps will open up the video in the frame view window, and it will show you the first frame of that video. You can either select a video by dragging and dropping your video on the frame view window, or as an alternative, you can click on the open button on the main processing window and select the video you want to process. The main window on the left shows you all the processing options, and a second “frame view” window on the right shows the video you want to process. Upon opening the program, Autostakkert shows two separate windows. You can find a complete overview of my astrogear here.

For those interested, I captured this one-minute video of Jupiter with my Celestron Edge HD 8″ telescope, my ZWO ASI178MC camera with a 2.5x Barlow lens, and my SkyWatcher EQ6-R Pro mount. You can DOWNLOAD my VIDEO of Jupiter here if you want to follow along with this tutorial using the same data. Emil is currently working on the 4th version of Autostakkert, so the more donations he gets, the sooner he can release the 4th version of this awesome freeware. Please don’t forget to donate Emil a cup of coffee to show your appreciation.

You can download the software for free from the autostakkert website. Autostakkert is an excellent tool to create stacked images from video files of the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and even deep-sky astrophotography objects. Downloading Autostakkert and my video of JupiterĪutostakkert! is a free software tool developed by a very kind software engineer from The Netherlands, Emil Kraaikamp. If you’re completely new to planetary imaging, I recommend you first take a look at my v/blog about top 10 tips to capture The Planets, and perhaps also this v/blog about best telescopes to start planetary imaging.

If you want to add your knowledge on how to process the planets, or if you have additional questions, feel free to leave a comment in the comment section so we can all learn from one another. Nevertheless, I will show you what I know. I’m not an expert on planetary processing, and I’ve captured my videos under light-polluted city skies in The Netherlands with the Planets close to the horizon, so we are definitely not working with the highest quality data. Before starting this tutorial there are a couple of disclaimers I need to make.
