Thanks for your reply Tony. 16x 30 second shots plus processing= fantastic shot, congrats also to Houghy.
Tony, I haven't attempted stacking of any kind yet; the programs on our computer for photos are; Registax, Digital photo professional, Adobe photo shop elements 2.0, and Jasc Paint shop pro 8. Are you familiar with any of these, that would be good for processing and stacking astro photos?
Thanks.
