Deifnitely the image scale is a lot different between the two cameras Ingo. I guess it depends on what you intend to do with them in the end. For internet posting 640x480 is fine for most people.
Most of my images are posted at 800x533 or 900x600, also compressed, which is a big reduction from original size of 3456x2304 uncompressed but as I say to each his own.
Webcam images of Jupiter and Saturn and also some of the moon posted on IIS are superb from what I've seen so congratulations to the members posting them.
Anyway the whole idea is to enjoy what you're doing .... so happy imaging !

Take 3fps and stack maybe 50-100 of those, nice image. You also get 12.8mp, so you'll be able to just resize, and get a lot less noticeable noise, with more detail.
