180mm STF Mak, Toucam 840K pro, x2 apo barlow, K3ccd for capture, Registax 4 for processing, Paint Shop for fine tuning and approx 1,200 frames stacked out of 2,200.

can you show 1 frame from raw for comparison, of what stacking adds?

raw being what you see with eye (at 4mm mag)

Single frame attached - you can see the benefit of doing a stack!

thanks for the raw frame, can you detail mirror size, any barlow used etc

My scope's a 7" Mak. I used a x2 Apo Barlow, IR Block filter and a Toucam 840k Pro.
