OOooooooooOO Yummy nice heads up Gaz

Multi Point Alignment option looks great!

[geppetto]

Nice one mate

Will be looking for that one 8)

[MartinB]

At first I thought the multipoint alignment would allow it to handle rotation but having had a look I don't think it will. If that's the case they have really missed a trick.

[GazOC]

I think Meade has software that will do that (Drizzle)

[Ambermile]

Current Registax has Drizzle

[GazOC]

I'm still on v2.

[Ambermile]

Phillistine... I'm on the Artemis version

[CELESCOPE]

V2 RULES OK

Rog ehehhe

[Ambermile]

Hmm, prefer 3.0.01.61

Hmm, prefer 3.0.01.61

Over 3.0.01.62? Are you mad?

[Ambermile]

Just call me old-fashioned...

[MartinB]

There's lots of software that can handle rotation so it seems strange that Registaz can't. Didn't know Drizzle was now integrated with it. Does that work with non meade scopes, would be surprised

[Ambermile]

You think Meade invented the technique?? No way! I believe it was some techy types for messing with the HST pics.

No I didn't think Meade invented it, I thought Drizzle was theirs and that it worked best with Meade scopes and the DSI. Registax's inablity to cope with rotation was a real pain for me until I got ImagesPlus. My older version of Maxim couldn't handle the avis generated by K3tools so I had to convert every frame to a bit map using registax and then translate and rotate in Maxim. ImagesPlus handles avis and rotates but isn't free. Deepsky stacker will do it but is supposed to be fairly slow.

Deepsky stacker is fairly slow but great results and when or if you e.mail the creator of the software he replies virtually by return with excellent answers to your questions. Who else does that ?

No one that I know Robin. Good to know that. Deepsky stacker is building up a good reputation.
