you might be able to improve it by using a RAM disk, such as the
one provided by Dataram (see http://memory.dataram.com/prod-
ucts-and-services/software/ramdisk/download-ramdisk). A major
advantage of operating in high-speed imaging mode is that it al-
lows you to capture moments of steady seeing, which can then be
selected and stacked to produce far sharper images than could be
achieved with longer exposure times. Registax is a freeware pro-
gram which is designed to make this post-processing as easy as
possible: please refer to http://www.astrono mie.be/registax/index.

Registax will process and
stack RGB images taken
through different colour
filters provided that the
files are saved with the
suffixes _R, _G and _B,
to indicate the colour
channel. The easiest
way to achieve this is by
setting up an observing
sequence as shown on
the right.
Registax can also debayerize images taken with one-shot colour
cameras.
