is an adc the right way to go?

It's a big help at the moment. My mars images were useless until I got one.

Do you have more PNGs? If so you can throw them all in PIPP.

If you use 'quick capture' you can set it to grab 5,000 frames.

i only have about 34 pngs at the moment,does it take avi,png as well

I think you can do better with the data - you still have mono image although your frames / camera are OSC.

It was shown in this thread earlier that when you debayer image, there is a slight offset to each channel due atmospheric dispersion. If you debayer your frames and stack them and then align R, G and B channels and then do sharpening, that should improve your results. As is there is additional blur because R, G and B are slightly offset.

Even as is, a bit of wavelet sharpening is going to give results:

yeah a bigger monitor and a faster internet connection look at the work of those with better skies and bigger scopes.

Much better, but I think you should be able to get a more natural colour balance.

Good idea to save as a PNG for upload to the website, saves having to download and then fire up a viewer.
