Thanks mswhin63.

Looking into it a bit further - despite having some control over the exposure,
it seems that the webcam itself has an auto-gain which can't be switched off with the windows driver :-(

Since it does an average exposure, and the planet is small in the frame,
it tries to boost for the mostly black picture.

Never mind - should work ok for the moon which fills the frame.

Not the best for planetary :-(

cheers,
