I stacked 113 images to get this. Bit grainy, though.

Got some nice detail on the terminator there Phil. What gear are you using?

Thanks. Skymax 127, Nikon D3200 DSLR. I took 113 frames, stacked them in Microsoft ICE and finished in GIMP. I used ISO 400 and 1/1000 second exposure.

Looking good. What ISO settings and focus technique are you using?

I'd been thinking your previous images were a little dark. This one is better (IMHO). I'm assuming you took this with your DSLR?

I used ISO 400 and manual focus. Auto-focus does not work with it. My original images were somewhat under-exposed. I would have been better using 1/400 second.

Hi Phil

I have similar problems with manual focusing. Usually use live view and pic a place on the terminator and a bit of trial and error. Sometimes get better focus than others.

Have you considered using registax instead of ice?

Think your right about the adjustments to your shutter settings.
