29+ views and no advice, I was starting to get worried.

I just wasn't sure if that was the correct program to use and whether it could be done. I was just going on the limited information I could find on other peoples posts.

Will have a look at Registar.

Any more advise or opinions would be great (any body got a basic tutorial?).

Cheers

No worries Gav i actually wrote a longer reply but it seemed to disappear, so reposted with a shorter response.

It is pretty user friendly, i have used it in conjunction with photoshop and managed to successfully navigate it without watching any tutorials. it is pretty much purely an aligning program. i think there is a free trial on the website but you would need to double check.

I use it in conjunction with photoshop as its then easier to manipulate how you want to blend data. I have used it to stitch a pano together, and align NB to dslr data, then blend it to R, or B channels. its fairly simple to copy and add perfectly aligned images / channels etc https://starizona.com/acb/ccd/software/ps_hargb.aspx hard to explain but i found i wasted so much time trying to align 'by hand' in photoshop with warp tool etc.

Good luck

edit: one thing to add, is i usually have to adjust the file type before i use it. I use tiff usually and i think they have to be in 16bit format (from memory), i believe fits can be 32bit. but i am stretching the memory.
