thanks Jay, Planetary tracking is a different animal entirely. I know nothing about that, absolutely nothing. With math and software I imagine the subject can be tracked, (like Jupiter, but I don't if a particular moon is trackable yet).
Anyway though, I suspect part of the secret sauce for processing such a thing is to get tracking shots of the subject and get shots of the moon as well, and separate them, and process them alone, and then composite them back together again.. You are right that the moon since it moves differently than the planet it circles, would I suspect show as a blur or some such depending on how long the exposures add up to and how fast it is moving.

pfrancke,
Your M51 is special, especially when viewing the download. What really drew me in was the amount of continuum, IFN, or ___ (fill in the blank with the correct noun) you were able to extract with your noob Pixinsight post-processing. I'd gladly take half of your talent with that program.

hi Jay, Blush... thanks. The line (like a cat scratch), is just another small galaxy up there. But it does not look so good due to excessive sharpening that I had processed into the image (I suspect).

Ah, gotcha. That's on me. I should have looked at a map. Appreciate the response.
