Nice sharp images. Don't mind me asking, how many did you have to stack to get that final result and what settings (aperture and ISO) are you using on your 1100D? Sorry for being nosey, just had a go today myself and I am a bit disappointed with the outcome.

[David Smith]

@maltrabob don't mind at all. I use ISO 100 whenever possible and generally around 1/3200th second exposure (sometimes as low as 1/4000 and sometimes a lot longer if shooting through haze / cloud). Today I stacked 70 frames in Registax although lately I have been using AS!2 a lot, today it struggled to come up with a decent stack. 

[maltrabob]

Thank you for your reply, I need a lot of practice. Did my single shot with ISO 100 and 1/800th second. Not stacking those single shots would most probably be the reason I can't get decent sharpness. Cheers.

[David Smith]

@maltrabob Stacking is definitely the way to go. You will definitely get better sharpness.

Dave, these are great. I love the details in the larger spots.
