Great shot bwa. Your comment indicates that this is just one frame. I expect that stacking many of them could get an even better image.

Tried that; 5 frames, 25 frames, 150 frames. Just made it blurrier.

Hi bwa
Once I stack the video with Autostakkert I find that I always need to run the image through some wavelet processing with the freeware program Registax6 or else do some unsharp masking with other software to get the details
out. In Autostakkert, I normally go to the 50% point in the Quality graph to determine how muck to stack. This usually works out to stacking between 20 to 60 percent of the frames and it always helps after doing the wavelet sharpening compared to the single best image.
