Cheers Troy & Ray.
Carl, I use Autostakkert for aligning/stacking & Registax (ver. 6) only gets used for applying waveletts & in the case of moons, I use it for stretching. I use brightness & contrast to bump up the levels just to see if there are any moons & if there is, I'll then use the historgram tab to fine tune it. I'll then play around with the colour balance until I get a somewhat natural colour but considering I usually desaturate the moons once I've got them pasted onto my 'normal' image in Paint.net it doesn't really matter. Background colour basically is null & void.
For the copying & pasting, I zoom the image up until at least 500X & then carefully use a round mask placed over the moon, then it's just a matter of copying, & pasting onto the normal image. This is done one moon at a time. After moon placement, a blur must be used to smooth out the ragged, sharp moon edges but once again, using a round mask that covers the moon.
