For the first time, I managed to get a clear and stable enough night to capture Saturn with a 2* barlow. The followign were taken with a Celestron NexStar 8 and a Logitech Quickcam 4000. I was mostly getting 5 fps, 640*480 capture for 55 seconds or 275 frames. The AVIs are then stacked with Registax, selecting around 60 frames. (Dropping the worst manually, then using the difference and quality cuts on a restack against the 1 pass stack/Wavelet). So here is my Saturn Masterpiece (to date). This is with the 2* barlow. I was using 1/5 second frames and about 2/3 gain to get it.
The better Individual frames look like.
In fact, here is a short clip from the AVI. (Some compression artifacts! Not in the original AVI.)
This one is at the basic prime of the scope. I was capturing at about 1/10 sec frames and 1/8 gain.
