Hi Kenny.

The registax 5 version looks good. One suggestion though - the Red and blue channels don't look properly aligned. This is easy to process though - in registax 5 you simply use the "RGB align" button on the right hand side of the screen when you are up to the wavelets processing. When I do it, I tick the "define area" checkbox, then I draw a box around all of saturn, and then I click "estimate". I find this aligns the channels quite good.

The second version is significantly better, a great image with a colour webcam!

Kal: took your suggestion and did an RGB align.
