Jupiter 2 and 47 Tucanae

No its not a spaceship - just my 2nd go at Jupiter tonight.

Eyepiece projection to Sony P200
Hyperion 8mm + Skywatcher 1.25" barlow 2x + 3x on the P200
Moved the camera in a bit closer (noticed vignetting on full field messing with moon)
Changed white balance, saturation and sharpness settings - colour a little more natural than last time I think
Basic registax (I'm still a complete newbie)
Keen to try and learn everything I can from my little camera and setup before moving on.

Also tried a couple of timed exposures on 47 Tuc (20 and 30 sec). Focused on a nearby star, then slewed back to where 47 Tuc should be - too faint to see in LCD screen.

Again, won't win any awards and hardly a flat field, but gosh I was amazed to find exposure actually scored something.
Wondering do people actually see anything on their LCD or laptops when using Canon DSLRs to film "brighter" globulars, galaxies, nebulas etc or do it all by position from guidescope?
