I would add after this line in merlin's helpful list:
-the "best" frame is now being displayed in the preview window. If you had drift and cut a planet in half it could get picked as the best frame because the cutline is sharp, so scroll across until you get the first intact target frame in the preview.
-select place points near edge and multiscale points, change points size to lowest setting, then press autoplace APs.
-now continue with merlins list
additional tip: I use PIPP to process my SER recordings to debayer plus center my target and crop the frame (it can ignore frames without intact targets (ie cut at edge)). and generate a new SER file that I drop into AS3! This rids me of planets that drifted off the edge plus cropping speeds up the AS3! processing (generally for planets you dont have anything to see and crop it out anyway.No need to bother with quality organising in PIPP, AS3! will do anyway so it often wastes time.
