As a final check, it is also good practice to open up the histogram function and check the log-based graph. After this is done, click the “RGB balance” function again to close the window. By simply clicking on “Auto balance”, your picture will be color balanced. As a next step, we will open up the “RGB balance” window, which will show you a histogram panel with RGB colors. Clicking on RGB align again will close the RGB align window. You’ll notice that the estimation is done when the slider on the bottom left shows “100%” and a message appears with “RGB ALIGNMENT” done. Depending on the speed of your processor and the image size, this may take some time. After you have positioned the square, click on “Estimate”. You can also reposition the square to encompass the entire planet by left-clicking in the middle of the square, and holding down the left mouse button while dragging the square around. This can be done by left-clicking the corners of the square and holding the left mouse button while dragging your square. You should resize that square so that it encompasses the whole planet. Note that a green square appears on your image once you’ve clicked on RGB align. In order to do so, we need to open up the RGB align function by clicking on “RGB align” in the “Functions” window, towards the top-right of the screen. Nevertheless, it is always good practice to re-check the color balance in Registax. If you already used the “RGB align” option in Autostakkert, your picture should already have a good color balance.

With the image visible in Registax, I always check the “show full image” box which will adjust the size of the picture to fit the view window in Registax. Another way to make sure Registax doesn’t automatically stretch your pictures is by clicking on the “settings” tab and set the Stretch FITT/TIFF to “No”. Just click “no” and check “make my choice default”, as we are going to process this picture ourselves.
If you use Registax for the first time, the program will probably show a textbox with the option to “Stretch intensity levels”. After updating and installing the software, we can open up the image created in Autostakkert by simply dragging and dropping the image into the main window of Registax.

It’s awesome to see that developers from my own country have created two free software tools to process the planets which are being used across the globe: Autostakkert3! and Regista圆. Before starting this tutorial, I quickly want to mention that Registax is free software created by an international group of motivated software developers with Cor Berrevoets from The Netherlands as the main developer.
