Forgive me - but Im not sure I understand why you doing that though. The end result does not seem anywhere near as good as just doing a few frames.

Or are you doing this to capture a really massive image?

Edit: Ok, I re-read your original post :-) - I see what you are trying to do and why. I have also experimented with using a Barlow, and even eyepiece projection with moon shots, but my mount is just not stable enough, and does not track that well. Ive always found I got better results by either upping the ISO (Ive even gotten good results by using ISO 1600) or simply taking LOTS of shots and picking the best image from the lot.

I appreciate the work you have put into the image...
