Same night and same equipment from previous post. But this is only 15% of the 16,099 frames taken at around 12:51 am on 7/31. I've noticed that planets are better after they've past their zenith for about 2 hours. So, basically maybe I should only shoot when they are in the 12:30 to 2:00 am POSITION (not time).
(Later: Just wanted to include a note about processing in Autostakkert... I initially tried to place my own alignment points (about 210) but I ended up with a .tif file where I got artifacts when I sharpened. For the image above, I let Autostakkert pick 1188 alignment points and had a better result. So I think in general, it's fine (or possibly advisable) to have 1000+ alignment points.)
