Ah yes, an important point riklaunim has brought up - Are you using one of these? It's a necessity in this game..
Well it depends on the seeing as to what image scale (focal ratio) you would use. With my C11 SCT I would only use the 3X barlow in good to exceptional seeing. The worse the seeing, the less the image scale you would want to be using. In nasty seeing I'll unscrew the 2X barlow elements & screw it onto the camera adapter giving me about 1.5X.
I've never bothered to work out exactly how many FPS I'm getting @ the supposed 60FPS rate actually. I will though later, & let you know.
Yes that's correct regarding the histogram - You'll want to keep it as close to 255 as you can. You can tell if you overstep the mark, you'll be getting highlight burnouts (over exposure) in the equatorial regions in the center of Jupiter's disc.
Focus tip: Get jupiter on screen, adjust all your settings, & then lower your gamma to 55 & refocus. Don't forget to bump it back to 100 before pulling the trigger lol..
I'll post a 60FPS for you later.
All the best.
