How To Stack Astro Images in PixInsight - WBPP Script in 5 minutes

Topaz Labs Discount Code for my viewers! - FRIEND15 This is just a quick one as a response to a few people asking how to stack images in PixInsight, so I thought I'd just show my workflow when stacking my OSC images using the weighted batch pre-processing script (WBPP)

I hope this helps someone!

Thanks for making this as painless as possible. Some of the other videos were very confusing.

I've just bit the bullet and bought pixInsight. I know there's a learning curve with it but vids like this make things so much easier. Thanks for taking the time to help others, it's very much appreciated.

Thanks! This is what I needed. A quick explanation on WBPP. I don't have time to watch longer videos.

[Pletharoe]

Exactly as you said. Hundreds of videos on youtube but not ONE takes a total noob through the process of simple script stacking. This is a fantastic video! great job.

You know what Luke? I have watched quite a few of your videos over the last few days. And I have learned more from you in the last few days then I have in the last few months jumping from channel to channel taking bits and pieces here and there. Your pixinsight data that you shared the other day allowed me to process some of my older Data in a way I never imagined possible! And I just wanted to say thank you Man! YOU have given me new found inspiration...

Thanks for the straightforward tutorial! You've got a knack for taking the complex understandable.

[EricBarger]

I wish more people would get to the point and keep the time down. Thank you for this five minute tutorial with no extra fluff or rabbit holes to explore (it is easy to get off track). Eventually, once we get these processes down, we will explore on our own.

I'm new with PI and this is the first video I'm watching but it was clear and to the point. Thanks for taking the time!

[rockdv]

Thank you for simplifying this into an easy 5 min video.

[davidrousseau]

I was looking for a clear and concise video on stacking in PI. When your video popped up I instinctively said "YES!!!" I knew it would be IT! You're Da Man! ;-)

[PumpkinHallowHaunts]

This was exactly what I've been searching for! Thank you Luke appreciate this a year on. I've just started the hobby and got pixinsight watched a few long bloated out vids and found yours! Thanks again and Hi from Devon!

[PatJones]

This is EXTREMELY helpful as I start my Pixinsight journey! THANK YOU SO MUCH! :)

[markwright]

This is a brilliant video Luke. My days of using DSS are no more from now on 😊

[tallaganda]

Exactly the video I needed. I need to get learning so I can decide whether to buy the program as a primarily DSLR user.

[britainthroughmylens]

As a Mac user I’ve been using Siril which does much of what PI does and now incorporates Starnet actions, but try as I might I can’t get StarNet to work within it (terminal code scares me and goes over my head). I'm a simple country lad lol. So I’ve downloaded the 45 day trial of PI. This was a very helpful video to start me off. Thanks a lot Luke.

[dr.joeluciani]

Luke, it's easy to get overwhelmed when starting out with PixInsight. Thanks for flattening the 'learning curve' a bit. In one of the comments, someone asked you about stacking multiple nights data. Since you do this all the time...how exactly do you do this with WBPP?

[fernandoapausa]

I needed this quick tutorial to move on PixIn for stacking and stop using DSS. It's obviously a beautiful free app but no need to use both if you can do all with PixIn. Thanks!

[KevinMurphy]

Great tutorial Luke, thank you. One question, how does the stacking quality in Pixinsight compare to Deep Sky Stacker?

[BlackravenarmouryUk]

Have to say… Total noob here and you just made this first step painless. Have not had a look properly yet, but really wish if you’ve not done one, you’d consider a good workflow step by step, just to get someone through a single processing attempt, even if in a few parts 😊

[vinoner]

Luke, could you do a video on stacking multiple nights of data. Thanks
