I'm Jason, the maker of Nightscape Stacker. I'm looking for reports from people trying their own short, fixed-tripod nightscape sequences.
Our five-frame Canon 700D case runs, but another ten-frame test rejected every moving frame and kept only the reference. Registration still has gaps, and knowing which sequences fail would help us reproduce them.
If you try it, please reply with frames loaded versus frames kept, your camera and focal length, exposure time and interval between frames, and your browser. A report that only the reference survived is useful too. You don't need to post your photos.
Stacking, preview and 100% inspection are free in desktop Chrome or Edge. Use 3 to 30 prepared sRGB JPEG/PNG or supported RGB TIFF frames, up to 32 MP each; develop RAW first. Full-resolution 16-bit TIFF export is $19.99 USD once for Browser Version 1, plus applicable tax.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Jason. Launch-day update (Oct 12): stacking, preview and 100% inspection are free. Full-resolution 16-bit TIFF export is now $19.99 USD once for Browser Version 1, plus applicable tax.
Nightscape Stacker is for short, fixed-tripod nightscape sequences. It runs locally in desktop Chrome or Edge with 3 to 30 prepared sRGB JPEG/PNG or supported RGB TIFF frames, up to 32 MP each. Develop RAW first. You mark the sky by hand and inspect the stack before paying.
You can also bring a separate foreground photo that matches the view, pixel dimensions, crop and lens correction. Adjust brightness and small offsets manually, then soften its outer ground transition. Hard protection keeps the reference's whole canopy, including branches and sky gaps, with its original exposure and noise.
The real five-frame Canon 700D case includes matched crops and source credits. It shows the limits too: some stars broaden, a noise transition remains, and protected trees keep reference grain. Some other sequences still fail registration.

With your own sequence, how many frames were kept out of those loaded, and what camera, focal length and exposure did you use? You can report that without sharing your photos.
