Thanks Mike, I will look at that this morning. Stacking in Maxim is not good for this size image. I did have a go yesterday but it was completely out. Robert had problems with his as well as images are so large. DSS does not give the option of star alignment.

Maxim should be able to cope with these images easily. We will give it a go tomorrow.

When doing flat frames for the Canon, should the ISO be the same as the light frames?

Thanks

I'd be worried about the memory requirements for maxim. It's got a habit of being a bit slow without a whole pile of images to organise, so when it's doing multi-megapixel stacking it could easily slow down so much it'd look like it's locked up...

Still think it's be best thing since sliced bread, although it's less tasty with marmalade on.

Fay,

I don't use the same ISO - I use ISO 100 so I get a good set of noise-free flats.

Actually Fay you get an out of memory error then it needs to be restarted, even V5 has the same problem although it takes a few more images to get it into that state.

Looking forward to your talk tommorow Mark, especially as I missed the last meeting. Will try to pick up som KK's from Tescos on the way home ...
