Thanks Jeff, first time I've posted any of my planetary images in this section of the forum ( I think
)

In movie crop mode, it's fixed at 50 fps which is, of course, 1/50 sec, so I'm using a lot slower shutter speed than you. This is why I use the lower iso values but I'd love to go lower for Jupiter and Saturn to reduce noise. Mars is so bright, I could have almost gone to 200 iso and achieved a reasonable result.

Thanks for the compliment LIS. The option is always there, the ASI 120MM has slightly smaller pixels than the 550d and with it's smaller sensor, it crops the images nicely. The DSLR is easier to set up if you need to get out there quickly. Movie Crop mode is a nice feature Canon released for just a few of their older models. It's a shame they omitted it from their newer ones.
