I finally did an animation. Not quite got the Moon in exactly the right place for each frame, might have another go at it when I have a few more 100 hours to spare.

Rick the animation worked the first time I tried it, but it's not working now. What have I done wrong? It seems to work first time when I go into the thread but won't work a 2nd time unless I go out and come back again.

I think it might be because I set the animation to play only once, will re-do

Try using PIPP to centre and animate.
That animation shows excellent potential Carole.

I've already tried that for my own animation - some frames line up perfectly and others (with part saturation) failed miserably - I don't know why. I think the material differs too much from frame to frame.

Thanks Mark.

well done Carole, I can imagine the 100 hours!!!!!!! :lol:

I have never used Pipp can I use it just to centre and animate without having to stack in the software first?
Unfortunately I accidentally wrote over one of my files, so unless I re-do the thing again, I am going to have a gap.
Really had quite enough of this this week, so might take a breather anyway.

I followed Duncan and Kenny's advice and tried PIPP. It's still not perfectly centred but I think it's better than my manual effort. I also selected the shadow option for when part of the Moon is in shadow.

That looks a lot better Carole, before it was a bit like being in Apollo 11 with lots of landing adjustments being made! Did you do a There is still a dodgy frame towards the endny more post processing on the frames? Lovely record of the event, we won't see another for a few years!
No I didn't do any more post-processing, I left a dodgy one out towards the beginning, I think this is the one I accidentally overwrote with the wrong data when trying to make a new set for some reason, can't even remember why I was doing that now. Now I am in total Moon processing brain overload !!!!!
