Did you keep the receipt for the solar light?



Glad it worked mate, looking forward to the results.

I second Sequator, it's amazing for widefield shots with a variety of adjustments which are simple plus masking of non rotational objects like trees and shrubs so they don't distort.
The software itself is pure simplicity and my go to for a lot of non planetary related stuff.

Excellent, thanks Leo, I will be having a play with it later.

A third vote for Sequator from me.

It's fast, easy to use and does a good job of stacking images. If you're so inclined you can also include dark frames into the mix - Sequator calls them "Noise images" (or something like that - it's been a while since I used it.)

For widefeild shots Sequator is excellent and for deep sky I use Siril both free and fantastic programs!
