You must be just about pushing the limits though with three minute shots. Jupiter rotates at 0.6 degree/min. At that rate you will find it difficult getting clearly defined features at three minutes unless you reduce your magnification. You may notice that some of the features looked just a little bit "stretched"?
Thanks Paul.

About how many frames would you suggest for jupiter? 1000? I do remember reading something about that now that you mention it . I was collecting short avis (about 300 to 500 frames) for everything, but recently started to up the avi length to about 1500 / 1800 for lunar shots. I think that's what Dennis does for lunar shots... I can see its not an issue for the moon!
