Thanks for the comments folks, I appreciate them.
It’s probably been over 10 years since I last did any serious planetary imaging (Philips ToUcam) and although my optics and mount haven’t changed in that period, I am astonished at how cameras and their associated capture and processing applications have advanced, not to mention the quantum leaps in processing power, RAM and drives to speed up the post-capture processing tasks.
For this set, it was relatively straightforward using Firecapture to set up a run sequence capturing 10 avi’s at a time (re-focus in between sets) and then Autostakkert2! for planetary alignment and stacking before passing the final .tifs into Registax6 for the application of Wavelets.
I then used ImagesPlus to Align the 63 tifs before importing as Layers into CS6 to then generate the sequence.
All in a night's work!
Cheers
