Re: [APML] registering images...

Good for you, Roland! Funny you should mention that because I also stacked 8 
Moon exposures recently using Registar. It works like a champ in that 
application! Philip was the first to point this out a couple of years ago 
and I really appreciate that he tried it and let us know that it worked 
well.

Regards,

Greg
