Here is a nice example of where the use of R4 MAP’s has clearly improved on an R3 SAP image of Tycho. Have a look at the line of cratelets between the top left corner and the 10-o-clock position on Tycho’s rim. Much sharper in R4 due to the use of 12 MAP’s – auto selected by Registax. Same avi, just the use of MAP’s that make the difference.

Original 1600 frame avi acquired on 18th Feb 2006.
I hope people were not thinking version 4 will let you put images in one end, and masterpieces come out of the other end. Going by the results it dose improve the images a bit, makes them seem more in focus and shaper to me. at least is not making them worse. For something thats given away for free for all the hard work that goes into it, I take my hat off to them. As time goes by people will start to master it and find out new tweaks and so on its only been out there a couple of days. My verdict for the pics here version 4 is unreal.
I grabbed an old saturn avi and ran it through Reg4 with default settings and a 64 alignment box. Reg4 created 6 alignment points. Only light wavelets applied in the end. A reference frame was created.
The original avie was set at 320X240 pixels frame size. The right hand image has been processed in PS and is the best of a series of 12 different Reg3 processing runs from when the avi was originally taken.
For me, I see a definate improvement in the noise and sharpness of the CD. I haven't bothered to colour balance the new one.
I know what you mean. It is getting just a bit frustrating. Atm I'm sitting out the back with the Orion pointing at the sun, well where the sun would be if this damn cloud would just go AWAY , trying to get a few shots of these new spots.
Hi all, I've reworked one of my lunar images from early in October.
At first I couldn't see any difference but after a while I saw that there are some subtle differences.
R4 definitely gets the seal of approval but I still have a lot to learn with the software and its use, should be fun.
Whenever I use it to process Saturn or Jupiter (MAP) I end up with something that looks like a Picasso!
Say I use three alignment points to process Saturn. Well, at the end of the process when it gets to wavelets, the three different alignment boxes don't line up in the right place.
Also, each box appears more or less sharper than the other
could be the size of the alignment box you are using matt. I have had problems using the smallest on some moon shots. its like it couldnt hold. then when i move to the next size up its ok...
yes, i has 32 on the shadow and moon and 128 on the grs. I have prefiltered them with ppmcentre's quality sort so that the 300 frames were all pretty good!
