Twilight Saturn 21/12/08
Hi All. Beautiful views of Saturn this morning, rings almost edge on and major moons lined up. Seeing was average and twilight had begun.
Thought I'd try my ToUcam for imaging using a 4X Powermate on the back of a Tak FS128, tracking the sky on an EQ-6. I used exposure of 1/25th second, gain around 50% and collected around 2000 frames at low res, 360x280px. These were stacked in Registax 4.0 with some brightness and contrast adjustment and then adjusted further in PS. Apart from better seeing, what would the readership advise for improving results from this technology? All advice much appreciated! Russ
