That is a great Saturn image – well done.
I would second what Mike has written. I cut my teeth on the LPI with my Vixen 4” refractor and had a really enjoyable and fantastic 12 months taking images of the Sun, Moon and the Planets, as well as a few brighter DSO’s.
I then saw what people were doing with the ToUcam and so I got one and after the steep learning curve of avi’s and Registax, enjoyed a significant improvement in image scale (smaller pixels of the ToUcam) and image quality (higher frame rates and more images to stack).
However, my 12 months with the LPI was a great introduction to hi-res Lunar and Planetary imaging, not only in capture and processing, but the related techniques of setting up the ‘scope, placing the Planet on the small chip, tracking, etc.
Cheers
