Thanks guys. I'm addicted to imaging now! It's worse than drugs man! I can't remember the last time I looked thru an EP. Come to think of it, I don't use eyepieces any more!?

I've been getting focus by using a nearby star & taking a shot of it, & if it's not quite right, I do it all again. Then slew to mars/saturn.

That shot above is about 40 stacked frames out of 1500 or so. Apart from the grain/noise because of that it's ok I guess.

I've been stacking using registax 2 cos' the lappy is 800X600 maximum, & one thing I have noticed is when I transfer the final image from lappy to main computer, it looks totally different because the lappy has the LCD screen & the main puter not.

I'm going to invest in an external hard drive soon to transfer the AVI from lappy to main computer & do my processing in registax 3.

Cool Robert! I'm glad someone else is shooting using a 6" achro refractor apart from me!? Love to compare results with ya!!
