It's probably me who is confused, but: this is a stack of star field images, mostly overlapping. 1-2 aligns fine, 2-3 aligns fine, etc. Presumably there is a small error between each alignment though, so when I compare the alignment of 1-63 it has drifted, making the stack not useful for doing gmic median_image.

The statistical pull of each immediate image connection seems too strong. (I used the Fast Preview window to add these control points -- I assume that was your meaning.) Do you think there is any way I can preprocess these underexposed images to be more usable with cpfind (so I can use them as proxy images for alignment)? As mentioned above, simple brightening did not work, and it doesn't seem likely that constrast enhancement will help since the stars are already pretty bright compared to the sky... -- A list of frequently asked questions is available at: http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_FAQ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
