Hi Howard, 

Your Tycho here has amazing detail. Our experiments with the Scorpions have been going in tandem a bit! You must have recieved yours just a little before I did mine!

From November 3, an f/15 449 frames, 339 stacked. Some minor artifacts from multiple alignments in Registax. There is probably an even better image lurking in the mov, but this is a keeper. I wanted rays and here they are.

Mistakes corrected: I thought this was too fuzzy while capturing, so I didn't bother to process.
Initally, I converted all the mov to avi using thousands of colors, instead of millions, thinking that meant thousands of grays. Now, no more noise.

Mistakes not corrected: 24 alignment points weren't enough for edge-to-edge sharpness.
