However, I wasn't able to easily align the frames.

Would K3CCD tools be able to automatically align these images and make an animated GIF for me? Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Hi Stephen

Yes – K3CCDTools can align planetary type images that are “jumping around”, or not centred, from Frame to Frame.

Yes – K3CCDTools can output to an animated gif although in the example I produced, it came out around 7Mb compared to Advanced Gif Animator’s 4 Mb.

I note that like me, you are in Brisbane. If you would like a demo of K3CCDTools, PM me and we’ll see if we can tee up a time.

Cheers

Dennis
