Nice shots.

for gifs I use GIMP. Very easy and free

Thanks Walter! Is there a way to align frames in Gimp? I have 30 for the animation.

Great close-up image.
Align in Registax and export as individual images?

Hi Mike! Will Registax output aligned but non-stacked images? Thanks for any assistance!

Heck, registax will output an aligned AVI and you can even choose the frame rate. Thanks for the suggestion!
Over 1.5hrs unfortunately the big spot didn't change enough to make a useful movie.

Hi Scott

for aligning you can also use IMGALT, it's free and works perfect

To get imgalt, follow the link in my signature. But keep in mind that it will align image sequence on the most prominent feature, i.e. The Monster, and not on the limb.

Hi Filip

will there be in the future something like a Point Setting that imgalt is reffering to while doing its job ?

Walter, that's one of new functions I'm considering.
