I think you should be patient and stick with it,I understand there is a lot too it if you want to take it up seriously. But as your first pic suggests,your guna turn out a pretty good imager.

Clear skies to you all :-)

Awe thanks I thought it sucked. But maybe stairing at ot for 3 hours solid has made it imprint blurry in my head lol

What software did you use to stack the images ?

[Digz]

How were you processing it? Software used, steps taken etc.

Maybe if you explain this people can help point out where you can improve.

[JamesF]

Tell us a little about how you captured the data and how you processed it -- what kit you used and what processing you did etc.

Oh, and if memory serves you have a Skywatcher 130.  Is it the 650mm focal length version or the 900mm?

Well done.....it will get better.....listen to the experts and persevere.

Hi. I simply just used a video editor on a mac got the frames and fit them together. I started off with very blurry jaggedy edges, I teg used a photo shop to make the edges blend better. But now I feel as though it looks too changed and not right

You're probably going to need a Windows machine for this stuff.  Or at least a Windows installation emulated on the mac.

This might help you along the way:

Yep, using some dedicated stacking software will allow you to get the most out of your video.
