Hey thanks Renormalised and Steve,
This helps a lot!
I thought that was the method for taking darks but the flats I had no idea. What do you do with the flats by the way? I assume that the darks bring out more details by reducing the background noise once subtracted from the images stacked. Will this also remove the hot pixels I get when the camera is in Long Exposure mode?
I will give the program Steve suggested a try, it seems to be what I need alright. I now have an XP work laptop so this should fix things up a bit.
Any other suggestions for favourite exposure lengths for certain objects or other software that kicks butt for DSO or ToUcam driving?
Thanks
Chris
p.s just whack me upside the head and point me to the post if this is covered elsewhere in IIS please.
