Your frames per second sounds very low for a planetary camera, these are very different to DSLRs. Adjust exposure to try and get enough frames to have in the order of multi thousand frames in your AS!2 quality stack

I think you are bang on there foc (Ross), regarding the noise and pushing to try and extract some detail. Very nice Jupiter image as well ... gives me something to aim for. (was that with a barlow?)
Regarding the FPS... Thanks for the pick-up
... I guess I just left it on the default slow setting from the high res mode (for locating) I just played around with it and I can choose up to 50FPS once the res is down to 640 x 480.
Any opinions on if the 2x powermate is worth leaving in with a neximage 5 (2.2 micron square pixel size) on an 8" sct?
