Hi Mike

Thanks for the feedback. I tried various fps settings on the AVI out of K3CCDTools and struggled with the settings. The overall sequence contains several single frames showing partial cloud cover and at the higher frame rates, these cloud affected frames seemed to “jump” or “blink” which made the movie appear jerky. I then kept reducing the frame rate until the cloud affected frames transitioned more smoothly. I think at 5 fps the eye could see the clouds as a real image than a “jump” in the transition.

Both ImagesPlus and K3CCDTools handled the centering operation of the solar disc extremely well, given its changing profile frame to frame.

Now if only Gary could have picked me up in his chopper!

Cheers

Dennis
