I've spent a lot of time using ASILive (since its first release) with an ASI290MM mini, and it seems (subjectively) that in the last few versions of ASILive, the livestacking algorithm is having more problems than when the software first came out, particularly in "star rich" fields. (This is almost the opposite of the problem that people have when there are too few stars in the field for live stacking to work.)
I'm going to continue testing vs SharpCap, but it seems that with the 290MM the stacking algorithm can get "overwhelmed" when there are too many stars in the field, particularly with longer sub-exposures, a wider field of view and/or high gain. I'm finding that I get the "Can't find matched triangles" error when live stacking, which I think is the opposite of the "Not enough stars" error. Curiously, with shorter subs and/or a smaller field of view, or with a H-alpha filter (which all tend to reduce the number of stars in the frame), live stacking seems to work much better.
I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this comparing the current version of ASILive with the early versions like 1.0. My wild guess is that ZWO has optimized the stacking for colour cameras which are less sensitive than mono cameras. In the absence of any user parameters for live stacking (which SharpCap has), perhaps it is not surprising that ASILive seems to be less robust in live stacking.
The funny thing is that the first few versions of ASILive seemed to have very robust live stacking with my 290MM camera. I will have to do more investigating, but I am curious if anyone else with a mono ASI camera and ASILive has had a similar experience.
