Astrophoto from Brooklyn New York, NYC and astrophotography tourism. I like astronomy, astrophotography and nightscape, starscape photography. I like to record the finest details of the Moon, planets, the Sun, the Milky Way and beauty of the night sky. Telescopes: Celestron NexStar 4SE, Coronado Solarmax II 60. Digital Cameras: Canon EOS Ra, 60Da and 40D. CCD: NexImage, NexImage 5. Lens: Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II, Canon EF 200mm f/2.8 L II USM Telephoto USM

Saturn NexStar 4SE RegiStax 6 NexImage Bahtinov mask and Vibration Suppression Pads
Saturn April 21, 2011. Weather was not good - it was windy and partially cloudy. To suppress vibration I used Celestron Vibration Suppression Pads. To made better focus - used Bahtinov focus mask.

Comparison UV/Infrared Cutoff filter vs. without filter - Celestron 4SE NexStar NexImage

RegiStax 6 vs. 5 comparison - Jupiter Celestron 4SE
Here is an example of the difference between Registax v5 and v6 for Jupiter (Jupiter with Ganymede Moon and Ganymede Shadow Transit, September 18, 2010 - Celestron 4SE)
Registax v6 - Wavelet - Gaussian Initial Layer 3 Used Linked Wavelets with denoise 1 and 2 layers, RGB shift
Some clouds are more visible in Registax v6, the shadow and Ganymede moon looks better. So my opinion Registax 6 gives better result with Used Linked Wavelets.

RegiStax 6 - Astrophotography Saturn - Testing new version v6
RegiStax 6 release 2 April 2011
Just downloaded the new version and tested it.
Installation was very simple and no problem for Vista. Interface is simpler and more intuitive.
I had some problem with multi alignment in version 5. In RegiStax 6 it works as magic -- no issue. New function - Linked Wavelet Layers -- is great! Speed fantastic. This is major improvements which allow make more experimental settings and find best parameters for final image.
Thanks for RegiStax all people who created, develop and support it! It's amazing free product!
For Saturn observation I used Celestron 4Se telescope, Barlow 2x, NexImage.
Hope it video helps and gives you ideas what you can do with Registax.
