Stacking astrophotography images is an extremely important step in getting quality images. There are many ways to go about the stacking process. In this video, I compare the two leading ways to stack raw images: DeepSkyStacker (DSS) and the PixInsight 1.8 stacker. They are both high quality products. Deep Sky Stacker also happens to be free. I will let you decide on the outcome (or winner) in this video. This video can also serve as a tutorial on how to stack raw astronomy images in Deep Sky Stacker and PixInsight. Note: The test object in this video was the Crescent Nebula captured with a hydrogen alpha filter.
