Below is a shot of the Moon I took with my amazing little Canon SX530HS camera.

This was made from 400 jpegs shot at 100x zoom, ISO100, 1/160s, f6.5, AF-on which were captured in CHDK AstroKam. PIPP then grayscaled and culled this to 327 images based on brightness which were stacked in AS!3. Wavelets were applied in Registax 6 and final processing in MS Photos.

I also did some captures with jpegs at 50x zoom and 60sec videos at 100x and 200x zoom to discover the best resulting image. Below are crops of each method and I decided that 100x jpegs are the way to go in future.

Best quality single jpeg at 100x zoom
Stacked jpegs at 100x zoom
Stacked jpegs at 50x zoom
Stacked video at 100x zoom
Stacked video at 200x zoom

And here is my latest Moon shot with my SX530HS at 100x zoom.
