Hi everyone,

I have a question about combining datasets from different equipment.

Let’s say I have images of the same target taken with different telescopes and cameras, meaning the data has different focal lengths, pixel size, and resolutions.

I know that AstroPixelProcessor can stack such data together.

But I’m not sure if PixInsight can do the same.

Is it possible in PixInsight to directly stack exposures from different scopes/cameras into one integrated image?

I’m curious what the best workflow is in PixInsight for this situation.

Thanks!

Respectful

Thank you, Tony.

I am just interested in whether this could work for big collab projects.

Still looks like APP outperforms PI in this case.

I have no idea but there are people here who do that sort of thing.

Hopefully someone who did this kind of thing will share their expirience 😁.
