I can view both the JPEG and the CR2 using Preview on my Mac.

Are you able to open the CR2 files directly? You might be running into a
codec issue. I had a lot of trouble when I first started with DSS and BYEOS
due to codecs and my experience sounds almost exactly the same.

I went out for the first time to try capturing using Backyard EOS with my
Canon EOS SL1 with the intent of stacking the images using DeepSkyStacker.
I was able to focus and capture 40 light and 4 dark frames (OK, next time
I’ll get more dark and some bias frames too!). Looking at both the CR2 RAW
images as well as the JPEG images, there’s a reasonable number of starts
shown. (DSS says 130+ for the JPEG and ~80 for the RAW files.)
I select the 40 light frames as light frames, the 4 dark frames as dark,
use the defaults for all of the process settings, and try to either
register the images or stack them.
But I get no output. (Actually, I get an 8 byte AutoSave.tif file but
that’s just the TIF magic number.) There’s no error messages given anywhere
that I can find. And since this is my first attempt, I’m lost as how to
figure out what went wrong. More precisely, what I’m doing wrong.
Any pointers as to what I might be doing wrong?
