Hi Chris,

How many images did you have to stich together using imerge - Have you posted the full size image on your webpage - It looks very impressive - John

It was 4 images, I can create a bigger one if you like, this was saved with a 1:2 ratio. It also only took 5 minutes to capture the frames and 8 mins to do the registax then 15 mins to put together with iMerge, 10 of which we're taken looking for the feather option, doh!

I think I should do a moon map with the LX90, this would really bring out some detail, but then again it would be about 50 images linked together.

Nice one Chris,
The hardest bit when taking it at full 2m focal length is not missing any of it.
