Every now and then I think I've captured a decent image to post here until I look at what is current. LOL

You guys and gals really made me feel like I'm getting there. Thanks for all your nice comments. I know I have a ways to go and my weakest area is post processing. Thankfully there is Autostakkert & RegiStax.

BTW these images were captured from my live broadcasts this past weekend on NightSkiesNetwork.com

Nooooo, don't use Registax, we all use ImPPG for sharpening!

Hi Don,

As Alexandra says, use ImPPG for sharpening. AS!3 works well for image stacking. Maybe try the 80mm scope at lower magnification to capture full disks, or segments thereof.
