G'day Logan. This is what you want from Stark Labs Craterlet

Either that or you can download Virtual Dub and use the video recording function on that. Its actually very comprehensive but takes some time to find where all the setting are.

In you current situation, see if the settings are set on automatic (usually what blows the exposure out) and set to manual. Then set your frame rate to no faster than 10 frames per sec (5fps on nights of steady seeing) and your exposure for saturn usually around 1/25 sec. Faster if possible, but you need to balance your gain (start at around 1/2 - 2/3 max gain) so i don't think you will get much faster.


Good luck
