Astrocrop for Linux final testing

Nicola has compiled deb and rpm install files for Astrocrop for Linux, a native Linux rendering of her Windows software. She will shortly be releasing the Linux version.
A static tripod mounted Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ72 bridge camera at 60x optical zoom, fitted with a Baader solar filter, was used to image the Sun. The camera was set to burst mode, ISO-100 and 1/500s exposure at f/5.9. Images were captured in bursts of three. 104 images were precisely cropped and registered in Nicola Mackin's AstroCrop for Linux running on a Debian Linux laptop, stacked in lxnstack, wavelet processed in Registax 5.1 running in Wine and post-processed in the Gimp 2.9.
