None of the above, except I have used star charts to register..

Hard to say, I used it to register an 8 image mosaic of the Sword of Orion
region, it did a good job but it took much longer than PW.. BTW, its easier to
use than PW..

I'm not imagining things, PW is faster... but I have lots of experience using
it.

You are right, Registar is a more powerful registration program.. I will stick
with PW for now since it does the job.

BTW, I just checked and still have 5 uses left on Registar.. damn thing locked
up my computer and I had to restore a copy of the Registry (g)..
