About this image

Io is visible just to right of its shadow. South is at the top. My first attempt at processing with Astrosurface rather than using AutoStakkert + Registax. Anyone else tried it? I was quite impressed.

Nice image, Steve. If you could write the data (date, time, your name, etc.) on the images in future, that would be much appreciated.

I've tried using Astrosurface too recently. Very good but I think using it along with Registax works best for me.

Mark, it seems good, I’ll have to try it alongside Registax. RGB alignment seems to have stopped for me in Registax which is why I looked around for an alternative.
