I am using a Neximage and no guiding, I just point and have the camera set such that the planet drifts left to right with the rotation of the earth. I have to do this several times to get the exposure settings and focus right and then finaly capture. Once i have everything just right i record about 30sec and then reset for the next 30sec. During my tweaking i noticed that if i left set to Auto that i could see Jupiter and its moons. I think this is because on auto settings the gain is set to 100%. I will have to do this again to see what the exact settings were but its very tiring work.


Regards
