I am preparing for the arrival of my Seestar S50. I already use Pixinsight for DSO processing (from my main rig) so I’m okay with that, but want to get set up for external lunar/planetary processing so that I can image the moon with the S50.

I work in the MacOS environment so the usual recommendation of Autostakkert won’t work for me. There seems to be a few Mac alternatives and I was hoping that someone might have both some recommendations and some lunar AVI files that I can borrow for testing.

Thanks in advance. :)

Cheers,

irwin

I run Autostakkert on my Mac using Crossover.

I’ve gotten AutoStakkert to run on my Mac using WINE.
