Don't let me put you all off, it is my lazy streak coming out.
The trouble is that when I started this caper with Mars in 2003 it was OK to get an OK image. Nothing flash, just OK.
But lately, the bar has been raised that much that I get hypoxic thinking about it. The ToUcam is THE best for average to great results. We all just want that little extra edge.
I too would be interested in what the colour version is capable of. I still believe the mono route it the way, but it is a lot of extra effort for a little extra result.
Now, on another note, the first night out I tried Jupiter at 30fps, and while the AVI's were soft with the seeing, I also tried the other end.
This is Omega Cent (sorry Mike not M22). I tried it with the scope that was on the mount (for Jupiter) the 10", but at 1250mm the image was a bit crowded. I slipped Robby's new W/O 80mm scope on, and shot this. Perhaps 5 - 10 second exposure, with the gain and brightness near the max.
Not flash, but interesting.
