Hi, I am having a problem with processing my images. I am imaging with an older ST7 and CFW8 thru a C11 using CCDOPS at the camera and then transporting the images into Photoshop to do the registering and stacking etc.Does anyone know of an easier(and inexspensive) software that will make the registering and stacking easier and more precise. I have heard that you can download different AstroImaging progams but I don't know where to find them.
Thanks for any help, Tom

Tom, I am a newbie to this but I think you will find all the info that you want at:

K3ccdtools seems to be the software package of choice right now. Peter K. who wrote the software has provided a lot of features which simplify the process like automatic image selection and registration.

Hope this helps

Try Registax, Skeye, and K3CCDTools.

I don't have the URLs at the moment, but a quick search on www.google.com will find them.

I use them all the time for my images:
