I might give it a try in Photoshop, I'm still working on the movie right now, seems that the FITs are being grouchy about converting to jpeg. I've only got about half converted. I'll give the staking a shot after that. You were thinking about a star field with a trail of dots right? Howard --- On Wed, 1/14/09, Canopus56 <canopus56@yahoo.com> wrote:

"The overall length of the main bus is 1.7 meters, about the size of an average office desk." You imaged at 5UT at 35,000km. http://stardustnext.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/spacecraft_details.html Think I'll draw my blinds a little closer at night. -:) Kurt
P.S. Does anyone have multi-image merge in their image processing software? I'd like to make a combination of the images showing the track. API4WIN has image merge (aA+bB+c) for two images but no way to automatically sequentially merge across 37 images. Simply summing the images does not quite cut it. The spacecraft becomes too faint as the background noise is summed. - K
