Hello Jim,


Nice image. You have a lot of subtle detail near the southern pole that is well resolved.

Hello Wes,



Spectacular image. I looked at it for 10 minutes just enjoying all the lunar detail.

Was this 8-bit ot 12-bit?

Newbie Mars Processing Help!

Hello Bart,


That is much better than my first attempt.

I don't know of a RegiStax tutorial. I learned by just reading the help file and trying all the options and seeing what worked the best.

2.8 fps??

Hello Chase,


What type of hard drives did you have in your old and new laptops. For example, my IBM Thinkpad has an option for a 7200 RPM hard drive, which is why I bought it. However, most laptops have 5,400 RPM hard drives, or as low as 4,200 RPM in budget models. Most of the low cost laptops use the lower speed hard drives.

If your old laptop had a higher speed hard drive, then this may account for the changes you have seen.
