sorry huw, had totally forgotten about this thread. here's my shot. it's a number of photos, stacked in registax to bring out additional detail

I'm amazed Huw got that kind of result after stacking converters

Wow bags of detail there Dave, what's your scopes focal length?
I must give Registrax a whirl at some point.

Thanks Ian, yes I was surprised too.
My first attempts didn't look promising partly due to conditions but this and some others worked out quite well

Agreed!
Registax would tease out a lot more detail and deffo worth trying after grabbing a suitable number of base images

nice! you should definitely get 10-20 exposures and try stacking in registax. it takes some getting used to, but all of the 'magic' happens when you apply the wavelet sharpening in the final step. that bit is also the most frustrating as there's no telling, other than playing, as to what effect each slider has
