dddooohhh, I wrote a long reply and accidently pressed back and now my reply has disappeared. Ok, I'll it again.
My set up:
Tal 200K FL=20000, f/10
Toucam is like a 6mm eyepiece (so I have been told?)
Therefore, toucam alone yields ~333X magnification while the introduction of my 2x barlow brings that up to ~666X magnification. Seeing will determine whether I can use the barlow and also the fact that my scope has a "maximum" useful magnification of ~400X.
My usual camera settings (no barlow):
shutter speed 1/25sec (slowest speed as it's not modded)
brightness ~50%
gain ~10% (reasons why so low due to my "noisey" belief)
don't really touch the gamma
with 2x barlow
shutter 1/25sec
brightness near max
gain 50%
and introduce some gamma as it's still quite faint
Dave, you said you have brightness around 60%, gamma 20% and gain at 80%. Is that for imaging Jupiter? Is this when using your 10" Dob? What magnification are these settings for?
Now, if the image is still to faint, what do you adjust? Is there a particular preference i.e. gain, or brightness or gamma? Or is it a combination of them?
Thanks
Daniel
