) That's not all that difficult, but comes with a price... Often the crop will be overly small for posting on the web, or even in an album to show your friends.I normally capture at 1952 x 1232 pixels. Here's a single-frame from an unstacked image I caught yesterday...
If I wanted to crop all but the area around those sunspots after stacking, I'd end up with an image that was a bit too small... 584 x 554 pixels. I'm looking for something about double that size for the web.
One of the ways to double, or even triple, the size of your image is during the stacking process in AutoStakkert!3. By using the "Advanced Settings you can increase the size by 1.5x, 2.0x, or 3.0x. Here's a little table that shows the various stack sizes based on our example.

It also lets you crop within the process and contains an adjustable Noise Reduction slider. Here's a screen shot of my original image above that I cropped and doubled the size within Gigapixel...

If you got this far, I thank you for your time.
