Charles, excellent capture! It is impressive how much detail is pulled in with ony 15sec subs. That's a great observatory. Look's like a very dark site. Thanks for posting

Eric, excellent shots! The solar detail is very impressive. I've always had trouble with avistack and usually just use Registax. Do you have a link to Sean's S&T review by chance? Thanks for posting and congradulations with the new camera

A good day with the ToUcam

Steve, excellent composite of images! That solar shot is awesome. I tried some white light solar imaging with my C11 last week, but the turbulence was wicked and I could barely focus it. Thanks for posting it

And a good night...

Steve, good shot! Have you ever tried using AutoStakkard for processing the avi data? http://www.astrokraai.nl/autostakkert.php Since last year, its all I use, then pull into Registax6 for some sharpening. It is lightning quick and very accurate.

Steve, excellent shot! Have you tried Reg6 for multi-alignment? It is supposed to have some alignment improvements vs Reg5. Thanks for posting
