Thanks Anthony

I’ve revisited it a little as I think my shot above is a bit heavy on the red

The real maker or breaker is the seeing, oh and good collimation and focus are essential. If you nail the latter, then it’s likely rough seeing.

Your sequence length will depend on focal length of the scope and pixel size of the camera, which together will determine how much error you will see, and thus determine how long your sequences could be without noticing the rotation.

This image was taken at about 4500mm with a camera with 2.9um pixels, so to be on the safe side I was capturing 30 seconds at a time.

WinJupos isn’t the be all...if you put blurry data in, you’ll get blurry data out. If you’ll excuse the pun, focus on getting good results from a single stack first. Of course, capture loads of sequences in an evening in the hope that one or more are decent...that’s why they call it lucky imaging
