Hopefully, one of the PI Dev guys on the forum will be able to help. If I could reproduce it here I'd have a go at debugging the problem but I can't...

Thanks Rick. I'll post it on the PI forum. I worked at one stage and then stopped for some unknown reason.

Make sure to check out Rick's earlier suggestion re Batch Pre-processing script (from script menu). Is much more efficient way of operating, although for optimal performance running Image Integration on the calibrated and registered images is still recommended. (pah! )
(Might overcome a lot of your user friendless concerns......)

Thanks for that. I did end up getting the registration to work and it did a good job, better than what I could achieve in CCDstack. There were some dodgy tracking subs in the green and so the star shapes are what were throwing the alignment routine off.

I'll have to try PI for integration. I think I need to watch the Warren Keller tutorials I bought some time ago to find my way around the basics. I did not even know about the global button!

PI has lots of interesting tools and I would like to expand my processing routines.

Greg.
