Mick, any intentions of 'stacking' a couple of hundred of the above images?

at the moment l'm really trying to come to grips with the different camera settings, l've only had a quick look at Registax so my understanding is limited at the moment but l may send someone some video and see what they can make of it.

nice mick, I'm pretty staggered at how much detail you've picked up in a single frame of video, once you get stacking with this baby the images should be spectacular

l'm not sure that the single frames even do the camers justice, when viewed on a monitor in real time the images are amazing, l'm not sure how much the capturing process aids in the view of the single frames but they are a good representation of what you see on the screen.

That's a great image Mick and quite clean too. Well done.

The dark rings that look like an unsharp mask effect appear to be video artifacts. I have the same things from my GEM-Mintron. They appear to be present on most video images.

l think it's from the intersity of the light, at the moment l'm finding it difficult to lower the intensity and still get the background detail.

Yes it is a bit like that. But you can also see those dark edges around daylight images also with video. You can see them even around images of people if you blow up the image. There's no getting away from them that I know of and pushing the image as we like to do with astronomy tends to exagerate them.

Well anyway if you find a method to get rid of them let me know since I have the same problem. I've just been putting up with them as part of the drawbacks of the system.

I think it's to do with unsharp masking as well.

Great image for a single frame! WOuld love to have a go at a video if you want to send it, Mick.
