Sorry Dennis, forgot to reply to this.

I didn't use any special technique, but used my normal (lengthy) processing routine.

- Split your avi into individual BMP files
- Use ppmcentre to crop, centre and sort by quality
- Use netpbm tools to split each bmp into R/G/B bmp's.
- Use registax to align/stack each set of R/G/B bmp's, into a "master red", "master green" and "master blue". I used mild wavelets (#3 - 10, #4 - 15) here.
- Opened each "master" in AstraImage.
- On each master, convert to greyscale, Maximum, LR deconvolution
- RGB combine (combine the R/G/B images back into a colour image)
- Gamma adjust and light USM

Because the original raw frames were so sharp already, the LR deconvolution brought out a quite hard edge, so in photoshop I made a selection of just the inside of the planet, inverted it onto a new layer and did a 1 pixel radius guassian blur to soften it.

That's it!
