Hi Lester, great start and nice shadow transit action.

I'd be really interested to see what you can do with the Meade 14 with a barlow in place - you need at least F20 on Jupiter to really do it justice. As the guys say lower the frame rate, prob 10fps is optimum. You can cature for 90 sec max without smearing so you should have 900 frames to work with. If you stack say your best 300 should be a good start.

You might want to check too what your video format size is set to. I think with my neximage it defaulted to a 2x 2pixel 320 x240 frame and I got the sort of blocky pattern that your image shows. I now use 640 x480 all the time - uses more memory of course, but better images.

cheers,
