After reading Matt's comment in my other thread of Deep Sky with a Toucam:
"Is there any way you could push the curves and/or levels just to bring out the neb just a fraction more?", I was determined to get more of the Nebulosity.
But rather than squeek more out of poor images, I put a lot more time and effort into the 'capturing'.
Last night I went out at approx 10pm and came in at 5:30am this morning and I must say, I had a fantastic time! And I captured my best images yet!!!
I made sure I was exactly polar aligned, I played with settings in 'Desire', did longer exposures and stacked multiple images (a first for me).
I am very very pleased (and suprised) at the results! They are much improved on my last efforts.
And some say a Toucam can't do this
All captured with ED80, Modified Toucam 840k Pro II, captured in Desire. Nebulas stacked in Registax and processed in PaintShop Pro. Omega Cent stacked in DeepSky Stacker.
