With the gain so high we decided to take dark frames which we used with AS!3 when stacking. There is very little sharpening in Registax. This is the Registax info WSL1_0_WV10_10_10_10_10_73. We used GIMP to increase Triton's exposure level.

Thanks for that! I had a go at Neptune on Friday with similar exposure length (lower gain of course) but I think the seeing was soo poor I couldn’t get a single frame with a “round” Neptune. It looked like a pice of play dough being pulled back and forth. Needless to say the stack was useless. I should have shot in IR now I think of it… but yours is quite clean which is why I asked
