3. Tap Start button.
4. Adjust the MTF slider for brightness during stack task.

Recommendation:
It is good to save a short video and do a live stacking. Having a video give you the flexibility and repeatability to stack the video frame at home on your laptop/phone with different software. A short live stacking gives you an expected image quality for the current sky conditions. A RAW photo of the sky may give you more details than a JPEG photo.

Note:

- You can switch camera by tapping the CAM1 button.
- The long exposure mode comes with auto align and stack.
