Hi Steve

Registax seems to be the de facto standard for AVIs captured with webcam devices. I have used it with my older Philips ToUcam and more recently, with The Imaging Source DMK & DBK industrial webcams. These devices tend to have chips between 640x480 and 1280x960. I’ve not tried Registax with multiple images from DSLRs which are typically at least 3000x2000 pixels.

I also use K3CCDTools to produce animations of e.g. lunar eclipses from the processed output of a DSLR in the form of several BMP files.

I have also used ImagesPlus for aligning DSLR images of a partial lunar and solar eclipse and it did a decent job despite the changing profile of the Moon or Sun on each image due to the shadow advancing across the disc.

Iris is another free and very powerful piece of software although I haven’t used it.

Registax is free; there is a limited functionality free version of K3CCDTools and ImagesPlus is a full on image processing package and the price of around US $180 reflects this.

What particular application did you have in mind?

Cheers

Dennis
