Odd artefects on moon image?

[Skipper Billy]

Last nights moon - anyone any idea what the vertical marks are on the lit portion of the image ?? Its 80 raw files run through PIPP, Autostakkert and Registax - best 80% of 106 images.

This is all new to me - I usually curse the moon but as we don't have any darkness now I thought I would try to image it!

Canon 70D with a SW ED72 Evostar (my guide scope off my imaging rig).

That's caused by the alignment points in autostakkert. Try using a different number/size of APs (use the place automatically function?) If that doesn't work you could tick the global setting on the left hand side, instead of local.

Thanks Craig - will try that.

Tried all sorts in Autostakkert - all the same issue.

Tried a (well hidden!) script in Pixinsight and although it took just over an hour to stack it is a much better result. Just need to figure out how to tidy up the limb now in Photoshop - any suggestions??

You had  me worried with your title that it was going to be a black rectangular parallelapiped.
