Hi Sander,
I will join DSS Yahoo but I'll probably just read the past posts for now.

I really want to try to stick to PI and learn a bit more before getting distracted by another program.

I managed to get a satisfactory result with PI by playing around with the sigma high value in the Intrgration unit but I think that my greatest problem in this case is not enough data.

If the weather ever clears up again that what I'll be focusing on.

Haven't been able to get two decent nights in a row for, well, it seems like over a year.

At least it gives me more time to squeeze as much out of what I have for now.

Cheers,
Luke

Hi Luke,

that sounds great! If I wasn't already getting excellent results with DSS I'd be using PI for stacking too.
Best,
