for sure. if the mother nature would play nice. i guess i wouldnt be reading so much lol ... will tommorow my focal reducer gets here. the news says one thing.. we shall see.. i guess get out there and play around to find what works best.
i did find tho . alignment of stellrium with scope lol ... you know its something i never thought of.. line your scope as normal then align stellrium with the scope.. so they know what each other is doing. its pretty close on start up . but i guess it can be better .. more fun ..
i think iam finding the fun of this hobby isnt what you see.. but the trip gettin there.. lol

No reason why regi shouldn't work with 1000 frames. Maybe the frames are in the wrong format or something. Try Autostakkert 2. Its free and quite simple to use. It arranges the frames in best order so that you can choose to use only the best. I generally stack only about 200 from a 1000. Sometimes a lot less, depending on the seeing. You can then tweek the resulting image in another program like Regi.

thank you allan i did download the autostakkert . it tells me only 1 frame in each file i saved.. so i did something wrong in sharpcap.. funny thing is i clicked start capture. unlimited . watched the bottom bar on left. go upto around 1000 frames did stop capture. maybe i didnt click something.. funnier thing.. i tested afterwards on my laptop cam. and it worked fine
oooooo there it is.. its from a CCD not a webcam style.. so its a streaming video.. maybe thats it .. and sharpcap doesnt know what to do with it.. mmmm ill have to check that more..
