You need to elaborate by what you mean "zero success".

What type of files are you trying to stack? Are you uploading an avi file??--it sounds from your question that you're only loading up a "few pictures". For planetary imaging you need many "pics" (=frames) and hence use avi files.

The procedure:
In Registax upload your saturn avi file saved using your toucam imager

The first procedure is to place the alignment box around the planet and press align. Registax aligns the images! Work your way thru the optimize/stack and wavelet screen.

In my experience if there is a lot of variation of the position of the image between frames registax may not do such a good job centring. There is thru this forum a useful tool called ppmcentre but I would suggest you conquer using registax first before introducing another learning curve!

Let us know how you get on!
