Ta chaps.
Dennis I captured 3 more AVI's 1 @ 5FPS & 2 @ 10 FPS. (All 1/33rd sec.) This 15 FPS was best by far. Yes I pumped the gain but more so on gamma. My 14th April shots were all @ 15 FPS.
Rob, I'm happy with capturing that transit, more than I let on. The 22nd April 9/10 seeing has spoilt me though. Not happy with the quality on Jupiter thats all. But I'm basically 'over the moon!' about it (pun intended!) he-he!
Go's without saying I'll be re-stacking all the transit AV's looking for a better quality outcome.
Yeah, nailed collimation & focus first night out. Piece of cake compared to my Newt. Next project is building an electric focuser though.
Cooling to ambient is the biggest problem with SCT's I've found. That & seeing conditions. The cooling...well I nipped that in the bud a few days ago. That leaves seeing conditions...Out of my control dammit.
Go for your life Paul!
22nd April 06' 10:15:06 pm ACST 75.333 secs. duration. I have 1 AVI taken closer to the exact time of GRS meridian transit: 10:10:19 If you want to use that one? Lower visual quality though. Your choice mate. Yell out if you want me to stack & process & throw it up.
