Mars 21st March 2012

Gradual improvement over previous efforts (thanks to: http://stargazerslounge.com/imaging-planetary/181219-some-pdf-tutorials-you-guys.html) but seeing was very hazy tonight and I probably do need to get on and collimate and get a 3x or 4x Barlow!

Your guide was very useful for getting the ICCapture settings about right and it was able to get 60FPS for a while (until real memory got gobbled up on the laptop). AutoStakkert does seem to do a better job at the aligning and stacking. So, looks like my next task is to get the optical setup better optimised (and move to somewhere with better seeing). Thanks.
