Good info. Thanks. I posted jupiter.grs.ganymede tonight. Not my best effort but the first time I've shot a shadow event where you could see the moon casting it. The missing brown band helps the grs stand out a little.

Would like to use Astro IIDC to process and export a high quality reference movie from a file of 4000 - 5000 frames. Obviously that's too many frames to work with individually. But I could manage less than a hundred frames or so. Then I figure I could split it out, snag and stack the truly outstanding frames. I am running version 3. something. Is this feature available in newer versions of Astro? I've seen others talk about it.

Yes it is only in version 4.

Also version 4 the stacking  / alignment has been rewritten with SSE3 for x86, so it's about 2x as fast.

Details on upgrade cost and process are at:
