Bit fiddly but it works and there aren't that many stars to deal with at this FL. IMO the shot is well worth spending a bit more time on processing as the data is very good. As Greg mentioned CCDIS is great to match star patterns, more in busy fields like wide milkyway shots with heaps of stars. Registar is also very good. |
Thanks Marc I may well have to try this as even registar cannot get it right. The best method I have found so far is aligning with the overlay method in Maxim. Unusual but I will get to the bottom of it. Work will again slow things down with 12 x 12 hr shifts in the next 14 days then the moon will be up solid again.
