Thanks Paul,

I will give DSS a go, I found that with only 5 x 4Meg subs loaded, albeit at some ridiculous pixel count of 3382 x 4452 or something, Registax ground to almost a halt on my laptop, that as well as the fact I didnt really do anything else in there while stacking may mean I will flick it.

I would have like to have processed my M42 pics as well, but at 30secs and with no guiding, they were......well......a bit crap, so I moved on.

Now I have a good platform that guides so I can maximise the time when I do go out to try and play with the exposure settings and lengths to continue improving.

I was trying 5 minute subs at ISO 400 but even these were looking washed out.....is there a better setting, say ISO 100-200 for say 10 mins?

I would be happy for some advice on the sub lengths and ISO settings if anyone feels like sharing?

Cheers

Chris
