Version 2 is now available, I'll so some processing with it and see how it compares against Registax this weekend.
Don't you pay for this version? John.
35 day trial period but well worth paying for. With the exchange rate at the moment it's less than 20 quid
Right had a go, not worth the money for AVI processing.
I re-processed some good AVI images using K3v2 and the results we're very poor. I think he's positioned the software to compete with AstroVideo not Registax.
There's loads of long exposure functionality within the application SAC8 included.
Support for autoguiding providing you have an autoguide compatible telescope (LX90 for example) and some other nice things like export of images in various new formats.
The processing side was poor. If we get any clear skies this weekend I'll try the SAC8 with it on the LX90 to see how it works v's AstroVideo.
AstroVideo is not easy to use.
I'm a little surprised that you thought that. The stacking and alignment routines I find are superior to registax, but Peter has only put fairly rudimentary post-processing facitilities in.
The general concensus at QCUIAG is that the best approach is to capture and stack in K3V2 and export 32bit fits for importing into Registax.
K3V2 also handles RAW modded cameras far better than any other software (IMO).
