first light with ToUcam didnt go so well...
Alright, I received my spc900nc in the mail yesterday, and with the brisbane skies as clear as they were, I got out side at around 1:30am when I got home from work, found Jupiter high in the sky..
After setup, I found it relatively easy to find Joop in the frame, and to keep it there.. I captured a few videos using philips Vlounge software, as I couldnt get k3ccdtools to work (probably less that it wasnt working and more that I didnt know what I was doing.) Anyways, The videos appeared OK at best, although visual through my ep's was as good as i've seen.
Following Mike's guides in the article sections, I processed one of the images using virtual dub, ppm center and registax4...
The first thing that I've realised is that I should have used a barlow, as the joop image is TINY in a 400x400 frame..
Anyway, heres my image.
I want any and all tips, no matter how minor and insignificant as they may be...
Thanks guys..
Alex.
