Can the StarShoot do a stack and accumulate so it can guide itself?

0

[Craig Stark] The StarShoot will guide a scope while another camera integrates long exposures. If you do the “stack and accumulate” you are sending guide commands between frames. Thus, if you can do 15s without star trailing, you can only do 15s exposures. If you use two cameras, one can guide while the other takes longer (e.g. several minute) exposures. If you’re using one camera, you usually might as well simply run unguided and take 15s exposures, letting the stacking (align and combine) happen after the fact.
