Hello and welcome, id like to ask everyone who is using Seastar and stacked their Images with both method, with seastar and with Siril software. Just expericed its deep sky stacking menu. And it rised me some queations. If u restack those images that the Seastar did, of course if its possible to restack them. Then in comparison which is would look Better?
I know there some videos about the comparison but I need to know that what would be a result of a restacked images.

I would guess that doing as little as possible in the unit would be the way to go. Get your raw files out of the unit and process them as you would from any other system using Siril, PixInsite or other package. There are plenty of tutorials on this in YouTube.
