I alternate between visual at the eyepiece and EAA, depending on my mood and sky conditions. I use Sharpcap Pro as it does pretty much everything I want. The attached photo (reduced size) is typical of what I can see with 30 second exposures. Depending on seeing conditions I do 15 to 30 seconds max, and I'd say I'm looking at 90% of my image quality after about 20 exposures. Obviously I'm seeing this image build up live and with Sharpcap I can play with curves etc on the fly. It's a technical departure from the calm serenity of visual astronomy, but you get to see colour.
My typical rig setup for this is either my ED80 or Esprit 120 refractor, and an ASI 294 MC Pro colour camera.
Cheers, Jim
