Hi Mike,

I can see the rille just fine , one of the better
Alpine Valley images I have seen .
With that 18" Zambuto when you get some good to excellent seeing you are going to get some images that will amaze
everyone and you have already posted some very good images.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Hi Eric,

Thanks

I will normally let Registax or K3CCDtools select the
best frames from the Avi that I decide has the best frames, the seeing was so bad this time that there was to many bad frames mixed in with the few good ones when I let
Registax pick the best ones so I manually selected the best ones.

I will usually take one two to three minute Avi after another until my hard drive fills (about 16 Gig) , while taking the Avi's I will watch the live feed on the monitor and make mental or sometimes written notes as to which Avi's look the best and examine those first when deciding which Avi to stack , I image at 10FPS .
Persistence is probably the best tool to have when imaging the planets.

Hi Wes,

I have been quite impressed with your photos. Some questions though- how do you go about picking your best AVIs? Do you just align and stack each AVI until you find one that shows the best results and then "fine tune" by hand picking frames, or some other method? If your capturing 1300 frames, at what fps? Do you just record one 1300 frame AVI after another, over a long period of time, and then pick the best one? This must take quite some time!

Thanks,
Eric
