Subject: First real videos

All:

Well, I took my first several gigabytes of video with the Aplux camera (in the fire-i case).

Astro IIDC worked great, though I'm sure I haven't figured out all the coolness yet.

But I'm having a tough time processing the videos.  I tried Keith's image stacker and the 

demo of Astrostack, and I can't seem to figure out the first things at the "align and stack" 

stage of either program.

Currently, I'm using graphic converter to break up one of the videos into .bmp files so I 

can try Registax using Virtual PC, but what a kluge!

I've used Astrostack before.  Once when it was pretty new (on my PC), and it worked pretty 

well.  Then again with version 2.0, but I didn't like the results with it anywhere near as well 

as Registax.  I've never used Keith's software before, though, so I may just be missing 

something that's easy.

Alan, what do you use?  Did you say somewhere?

best,

-Tim.
