Nice. Solid grey here.

Lovely clean shot sir ....

Must just ask about the artifact running from 12:20 down to 18:20 ... ?

[Bizibilder]

Hi Steve - I didn't notice that!! I suspect it's somrthing out of registax?

[Steve Ward]

As long as you haven't been cheating with an orange plastic ball hanging on a tree in the Bizi-garden and a felt-tipped pen . . .

I expect it's from using a multi-align-point on opposite sides of the disc .

[Bizibilder]

Ah! You sussed me!

(No really - I used two align points, one on each group. I always use just the one at 256 size but decided to use two for some reason today!! That line is right down the middle of 'em)

[Steve Ward]

I have the same thing every time I try multi-points , but if I use just one when there's AR's on opposite sides I find that the stacking seems to concentrate on the align-box leaving the other side indistinct.

What I do now is use fewer frames of better quality and stack twice , with the aligning done on one side then the other , I then stack these sub-stacks together to get the best of both sides , without the tell-tale dividing lines.

Last time I tried multi on the Moon it came out looking like a jigsaw puzzle so I do the same with that now too.
