Hi all,

I imaged Mars and Jupiter in good seeing last Thursday morning.

Previously I had captured at 30 FPS with an EFL of about 11m but this time I shortened the EFL down to about 9.6m and ran at 60 FPS. I think the higher frame rate was worth it although it is always hard to tell. My DMK21AU618 camera has relatively large pixels at 5.6um so I probably shouldn't reduce the focal length anymore.

I stacked about 20% or 30% of the 3600 frames captured.

I run a cooling fan which stays on when capturing. It is supported by a rubber band (slice of a car inner tube) and I cannot see any signs of vibration.
