Hi,

If you are shooting video I recommend using Avidemux to convert the video to Avi, then Castrator to reduce it and finally Autostakkert2 to stack. You can do the final processing in Registax, Photoshop or whatever.
Avidemux, Castrator and Autostakket are free.
Avidemux will let you export a section of your video as individual frames in case you want to do that (not needed)

If you are shooting photos (not video) and you want to align & stack then for the moon the best solution I found is to use a panorama software, I use PtGUI I choose to align and output as individual layers (registered) and then just load all the frames in Photoshop and average them. There are other methods too.

Hope my 2 cents help.
I stack moons often suns from time to time in both video and photos from a 550D or a 5DII so if you need some extra help feel free to email me. We'll work it until you find your best workflow.
