Thanks Dennis,

I focus through the viewfinder until I think it is not too bad, then use Focus Assist and reel off a heap of shots until I'm happy. I delete the poor ones later.

This last session I ran Registax and it gave me 55 to stack! I changed the quality to 97% and the result was 17... and a clearer image. I always wanted the 4" to be the lunar and solar scope, and I also wanted to get some sort of system down pat for 2012... a long way off I know but I tend to procrastinate until the last moment.

On another note, I noticed on SOHO that the area that I suspected a spot to appear seems to show one now. With luck I can get some data tomorrow and I will have 4 straight days... animation next... if I can get the rotation right... I didn't set up for that but I will give it a go.
