Live stacking from the Altair Hypercam 553C in AstroDMx Capture

RAW 60s unguided exposures were captured of NGC6914 through A William Optics 81mm APO refractor with an Altair Quadband filter and an Altair Hypercam 533C OSC 14 bit CMOS camera. Live Stacking was carried out. The stacked image rapidly improves as per the graph of S/N vs number of stacked frames.
