I'm overwhelmed by all the suggestions, offers, ideas etc. My 80mm
is just an f5 achro from SW which I bought more for the tripod than the scope; the focuser is absolute crap, but the colour correction is very
good for an achro. It was $199. GREAT solid tripod with slow motions.
Only 2 subs because no recent chance to do some imaging, so looked through my files and saw those 2 and wondered what stacking would
do for them.
I'm not imaging from dark skies, living on the edge of town, and have
2 streetlamps within about 25 metres and 2 more within about 40metres.
I'll stack those 2 images again, downsize the image, and post it.
I'll try the Canon software..
I'm quite happy to manually guide again; with modern exposure times
it's a doddle.
I really don't want to go deeper into processing at this stage.
Yes, I know DSS stacks moving objects, one of the clusters I posted
earlier was about 25 frames done in DSS. I discovered that the HDR
software Picturenaut won't do that.
Thanks again
