Finally some clear skies over Cairns tonight...
Had a bit of a look see with my 80mm ED mounted on a recently acquired Ioptron Cube Pro. More on that in a separate post; generally good but, will take a little getting used to.
After some visual enjoyment of Jupiter & Orion Nebula I thought I'd give the $5 webcam a go on Jupiter... hmmmm, it's not good. My first go at using a webcam of any sort but, I understand Merlin66's comments so much better now.
I managed to capture Jupiter & three moons but, they are waaaaay over exposed & despite playing with a number of controls that were available I could only succeed in making it worse. I will post a copy of what I captured here but, not right now as it's a little late....
I still would like to try it on the moon but, that wasn't possible from where I was viewing tonight without moving to the front of the house & resetting up the scope which, I wasn't prepared to do.
At least it only cost $5...
