SharpCap Pro was used to capture the 1001 frame image sequence. For optimum results this should be 10,0000 frames. The image below is a single frame with little detail or contrast visible. Compare this to the top image with the 1001 frames stacked together.

An excellent video is available to learn the basic of AutoStakkert.
