Re: [APML] Stacking Software

Picture Window Pro stacking.
Why refine on 4 or 5 points only? I run refine on all points usually 1-z
using "Multi-point", it does take some time with my 450Mhz PC but I thought
the purpose of refining was to correctly calculate the centroid of each
star. Do I only need to run refine on 5 points?
