Hi Steve
Almost like being there, well done, some good detail in there.
Did you use a Barlow for these shots, x2 or x3 etc? How many frames were used to produce the final images?

Thanks mike.

Those shots were at prime focus (no barlow), they were imaged at 5 frames per second, and are a stack of about 2000 frames out of 10,000.

Some nice pics there Steve,
Were you picky on selecting the reference frame? its worth getting as sharp a reference frame as possible to get good results, I'd also stack less good frames over more lesser good frames to get a sharper resultant image.
