Webcam & Saturn - too bright? Apps to Drive Cheap Webcams?

Hey guys

Dabbled in webcam photography a few nights ago. When I looked at Saturn the image was too bright. I attempted to change the gain etc, but the software for this cheap webcam didn’t do much.

When I have used the webcam with my scope during the daytime the image is VERY sharp and can be bumped up to high resolutions (1280 x something). Should I have chucked a moon filter on it perhaps?

Are there programs out there that drive cheap webcams for astrophotography, with lots of nice settings?

The webcam is not identifiable, and has no particular make / model.

Cheers!
