Aligning and integrating lunar or planetary images with no stars in background

[cdesselles]

I'm a bit lost. 

 I've tried just about everything I could think of to register and integrate 12 frames of the Moon with no luck at all.  There are no stars in the background so I tried both HDR composition and Gradient Merge Mosaic processes (grasping at straws here). 

So my question is:

How do you gentlemen perform this type of integration?

[pfile]

FFTAlignment script or carlos' FFTRegister process in his development modules for registration, then integration with ImageIntegration.

however, PI might not be the best thing for this - registax or autostakkert! are better programs for planetary stacking.

Have a look at the following post:

it could be the solution to your problem. Unfortunaltely the procedure explained doesn't work very well with my solar images (probably not enough structures in the image).
