Hi Brent!
Good first given the conditions. The ASI will be able to perform much better under more favourable conditions.
You don't necessarily need to capture 1000 frames for lunar if your PC's struggling. You can get away with 250 (and 200 stacked) if the conditions are good (although, obviously, the more the better).
Processing is critical. Personally, I use Avistack (free) for stacking and Astra Image ($4.95 or $29.99) for sharpening, then GIMP or Photoshop for level adjustments. I find that this combination works very well for Lunar.
Good luck with the camera!
Eric
