Thanks Brian.

I have used a Philips 900 webcam in the past (and still do for planetary stuff) and that records in .avi.

With a dedicated mono CCD like the 3/414, they take stills. Unless that's where I'm going wrong....I had good focus (visually) and good ADU counts at .008 second in Artemis.

I took about 55 stills and went through half of them but it was like looking at a .avi of course (but VERY slowly). Stacking of 30 produced a blurred image so I just used the registax best one and processed in gimp.

I have to say, I'm not a fan of the "inverted" solar disc process as it looks too contrived.
