otherwise, you could try a higher framerate next time you are imaging to try to freeze the seeing - what framerate did you use for these?

Thanks for the reply Ray
I used 3 align points. There was 2872 frames to start with and i did not change the setting in AS!2 that says use 100 or 50% of frames (they were both green)
From memory i used 14.7 FPS. I was getting more but then changed the EXP i think it was which dropped the frame rate.
I did have the brightness up a bit.
I'm sure my settings were Gamma-24, Gain 70, brightness 7 ( much the same as Alan Gould's settings from his Saturn he posted in Solar System thread)
i think i even used .011 exposure.
Thanks for your tips, they have given me something to try asap. It's a bit exciting getting some better results.
I'm hoping to get rid of that annoying black ring just inside the planet's surface.
