Ralph, how did you do it? I have a ZWo178MC so I would like to get there one day. Firecapture, frame rate, gain, ms? etc. would be good if possible.

TIA

Hi Glenn,
Thank you, I am still learning. The seeing was good, not perfect by any means but pretty good. The data was collected half an hour before midnight, so very high up. I try most nights and am getting a feel for conditions. I probably delete 500GB of data every session. This helps me get a handle on what I can get out of a session and what I can't.
I will help in any way I can.

Meade 12" and ZWO 290MC. FL5600. FireCapture exp. of 10.48ms and gain was about 350 I think giving a Frame rate of about 73fps, for a Histogram of 80%, captured as an AVI. Further processing in AutoStakkert 3, best 40% stacked, wavelets in Regi6, default setting and row 2 only, and RGB Balance, then PS CS6 for finale sharpening and De-Noise, and small Hue/Sat adjustment.
