Hi,

Thanks to the hints in this group, I switched on gaussian blur for alignment. Noticeably faster.

These are my first Astro II DC images as a result. Mars was made under mediocre seeing with C9.25 at f50, the solar flare with Lunt 60HA. The image is downsized from a DMK41 original
to reduce bandwidth.

Kind regards

Dodi
