Hi Peter,
The avi files captured for this animation were through my 16" F4.5 GEM Newt. I used a Meade model 140 2x air spaced triplet Barlow, an Orion filter wheel with Astronomic RGB filters and a DMK 21AU04 CCD. My scope has a JMI Moto Focus and Ansenn Technologies dual axis drive and drive corrector from Peter Mellander.
All of the images in the animation were "R" channel images. Each of those images were created from avi captures of between 1750 and 2000 frames every ten minute for 4hrs 40mins. I stacked the best 40% (700 to 800) frames from each of the avi files in Registax V4 and did further processing of the images in Astra Image Pro.
As already mentioned in my original post the animation represents the best 15,700 frames of the 39,250 from the avi files that I used to get the images for the animation.
Regards
Trevor
