With programs like registax, k3ccd, or astroregister (?), is it possible to shoot a
few minutes of sky at say 10 frames of second in avi format, and then stack
sequentially 5 or 10 frames intoa new image, then stack the next 5 or 10 frames into
a second image, etc. so the resulting stacked images are in a avi file? For example,
if my avi has file has 100 images, can I automatically sum each
successive group of 5 into a new image to produce a new file with 20 images?

The end result of this process should be a shorter movie with individual images
created from successive sections of the original.

This reminds me to ask the following question. I'm creating a sky image at 4 avi
frames per second, and, when I playback the avi file, it plays back in MS Media
Player as slowly as it was created. Is there a way to speed the playback up to 15 or
30 frames a second?
