Good start John.. depending ont he camera, the avi mode may or may not be better than the single shot.

With a single shot (or burst mode single shots) you're usign the full resolution of teh camera and can crop it to get a bigger image.

Using the avi mode, you're stuck at the 320x240 or 640x480 resolution, so the image sacle is determined by the eyepiece/barlow combination you're using for afocal.

Plus, the camera can do awful compression of the avi which can mean losing data before you even get a chance to process it. So just experimenet - for you and your camera, afocal single shot may be better.

But i'm happy to try processing your avi if you want to zip it up and email it to me?
