ASiair Plus Live Stacking. Crescent Nebula (Caldwell 27) with GT71 Telescope & ASI533MC Pro Camera

#zwo #asiair #astrophotography #nebula #telescope
This video shows the Live Stacking feature of ZWO ASIAIR Plus. I stacked 120 second exposures of the Crescent Nebula (C27 or NGC 6888) for about 55 minutes. This is the imaging setup I used:

Telescope: William Optics GT71
Main Camera: ZWO ASI533MC Pro
Guide Scope: William Optics Slide Base 50mm
Guide Camera: ZWO ASI120MM Mini
Mount: Celestron Advance VX
Control: ZWO ASIAir Plus

The images were taken with Optolong L-eXtreme filter. I used 20 Dark, 50 Flat and 50 Bias frames for live stacking. No post-processing was done. The stacked image shows only small histogram adjustments on ASiair. Finally, I used minor Photoshop adjustments to reveal colours.

I hope this video is helpful and informative. Please let me know in comments if I missed anything. If you like this video, please consider Subscribing to my channel.

Just subscribed. I really like your videos and how you walk us thru the steps you use. I'm brand new to astrophotography and have just now got my telescope set up with ASIAIR Plus and waiting to get out but skies have been overcast for the last month and no end in sight. I do have a question though. I'm under the impression that I can save the photos to a usb stick while doing the Live Stacking and they can be used to process separately in like Sequator and Photoshop. Is that true? Thanks for the videos. Very helpful and informative.

Question: Will ASIair do Live Stacking while Tracking (without guiding)? Note: I have the latest version of ASIair installed on my ASIair Pro.
