I have a EQ mount (Celestron CG-5). Guess I need to google "tracking" and "autoguiding".... To date I have never polar aligned the mount. I am second owner; it may have already been done. (or does this need done everytime you use?)
In the past I have always just used the manual alignment knobs to "center" the Moon in my FOV and take a few single images, then realign/adjust FOV again take a few pics, repeat.
I downloaded Registax 6 the other night and have been watching tutorials as time has alowed. Can't wait to try it out. I should be able to find enough old images to start "testing" Registax...
Another hill to climb is to decide to purchase planetary video camera or use my Canon Rebel T4i (650d, i think the rest of the world calls it). If I use my Canon, I have choice to take multiple single shots and stack, or take video from camera. However, my video files are .MOV. So, then I would have to learn how to convert .MOV to .AVI for use by Registax, I think...
Oh, one more thing..... If I shoot RAW Mode single images, what do I need to do to them before I process in Registax?
Thanks!
