The skies here were pretty darn stable for the capture, and under "normal" conditions here I wouldn't even have given it a try. In the middle of capturing, I transferred a couple of the .avis to my processing computer and didn't like the results. I had the dreaded blue shadow up top and red shadow at the bottom after processing in registax. Poking around in the program I found the RGB align tab, and playing around with that I was like "OMG, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE!" . I hit the "estimate" and things snapped into place.
Now unsharp masking in PS gave me more detail than I have ever gotten without the aligning. I guess when the channels are 4-5 pixels off relative to each other...it is no wonder things look kinda blurry. If I had the patience to split the channels of each frame the way I believe the Iceinspce tutorial shows, I probably could get even better results. Doing that for all 24 captures would be quite time consuming. I may give it a shot with one of the captures just to see what I can come up with.
