My very first image

Hi all,

Feel a bit nervous, took an AVI from my 12" collapsable DOB using a webcam, so I know it is not perfect.

Actually the viewing condition last night were not as good as the night before so the image was not as good as it can get.

I would love to show the AVI but all 5 AVI's are at least 2GB in size from only 1 minute of footage each. ecen the last AVI 800 x 600 res was 4G only because I forgot to switch off the capture.

I used Advance Video Editor to take away a frame while playing the AVI. Neat program although installs a bit weird.

Before the verdict, a few things I am waiting on;
IR Filter
Focal reducer

IR Filter mainly for Jupiter as I got some footage of that as well but is completely blown out

The webcam manual control are a bit poor as I tried to manually adjust the exposure down but was not good enough, but the auto exposure it quite poor which is the main reason for not showing moon edge which has the best definition. I have some edge of moon images I am going to fiddle with as well.

First image is the original the second image has been touch up wth GIMP2 all done in a couple of minutes.
