Late Bird Impactor - ToUcam/8 inch Newt

I loved seeing the fantastic pics Bird and others posted here earlier in the month. I eventually managed to stay up late Fri 31/7 until the region of impact became visible. I was convinced I could glimse a dark area in moments of decent seeing, so ran off some AVIs with the ToUcam.

Registax is still a dark mystery to me, even after learning quite a bit working through Paul Haese's excellent walkthrough on his website.

Anyway, here's the best I could do:

Jupiter 1/8/09 1:45 AEST
406 frames captured at 5 fps in K3CCDTools
ToUcam through 1.25" 2x Barlow + 2nd 2" 2x Barlow (FL 4000mm)
Umm - I'm not sure what the final number of frames was
Wavelets in Registax and some Unsharp mask in Photoshop

(Been a bit busy with work/home/astrofest etc to find time to work on this)
Thanks for looking....
