The actual construction of an animated GIF is quite easy but the work before its construction is a problem where you must perfectly align the 60 frames. It is a lot of work .... unless your polar alignment and tracking was really good.
Anyway, I use GIF Construction Set Professional .... download the demo and we can talk thereafter about "extending" the demo period.

IT CERTAINLY IS, I spent a few hours today at it and I think my eyes are going to pop outHi Frank,

Thats fine if you also remember to set the scopes drive to the lunar rate, which is something I totally forgot to do, the amount of hastle that would have saved me! :?unless your polar alignment and tracking was really good.

Having the proper drive rate would help the cause significantly.
