:) No joke, I think I'm finally getting the hang of this.

Taken through my 10" Dob using a Canon 550d in Movie Crop Mode. 2x Big Barlow used. 2364 frames stacked in Registax 5 and processed in CS3.

No joke indeed! Excellent results! :)

Coming along nicely JJJ.

That's awesome JJJ.

A nice result JJJ. That's a good number of frames to stack, which gives you a nice smooth result.

What was the seeing like? Have you also tried a smaller subset of frames? Sometimes when the seeing is variable I find a smaller number, say 1200 or so, gives a good result too. Processing is half the fun, isn't it?

beaut image JJJ.
Might be worth trying drizzle stacking - you may be able to recover even more resolution from the undersampled data. regards Ray

You'll be very happy with that Jeanette - well done!

Certainly getting there Jeanette, have seen some pretty impressive results around various astro forums of planetary work done with DSLR cameras.

Well done.
