Arrow ~ SPC900NC pointed at Mars ~ Advice? :0) ~

Hey guys,

I'm using wxAstro Capture, can anyone give me advice on the settings?

Still at the very early stages of learning how to use my equipment.

Last night I successfully setup a two star alignmnet and slew over to Mars.

This was the first time I have used a cam on the skies. Was going to start with the moon but Mars presented itself. I was happy just to be tracking an object and recording.

When I played back the avi Mars was rock steady in the frame, practically zero shaking. I was pleased because the 10" Newt is a big scope for the celestron mount.

So I guess now it's down to the settings. The pic above is a simple sceenshot of the avi. Before I get into processing I obviously need to get the cam settings right. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers
