thanks rob,
but as asi and i were spamming on messanger last night, anyones approach to set up and say processing will always sound complicated to someone that has not done it that way before. eg raw mode for the toucam sounds hard, but it is easy to swap over in to that mode - i am used to it. registax / astral image used to scare / frustrate me, but through patient explanations from bird on why registax does what it does (thanks mate), i now feel i am coming to terms with it. there will be things on the sct's that need precise attention to detail before imaging at high mags etc that would seem mind boggling to me.
There have been great tips from ice and rumples along the way on wavelet settings and histograms that initially sounded prescriptive, but using those as a starter, i now know pretty well what will do what and hence present am image the way i prefer and can tweak it.
I was able to write that "process" off the top of my head as i have done it soooooo many times, but i would have to be honest, the most time consuming / frustrating process is still aligning the finder and initially finding the planet when working at 1000x +. All the other things are now part of the fun. I am comfortable with them.
We will all continue to learn from each other on a technique or piece of software or camera setting. It is part of the fun!!
