Hi Davo! Well done. I think it would be interesting for you to do a 'bad to not so bad' too like I did, so we can see how far you've 'evolved'...but perhaps you have not got enough images for this yet?
It can't be easy doing this with no tracking mate. I congratulate you on the effort put forth by you on this!! I can't WAIT for you to get either an EQ mount or get tracking on your dob mount....then you can just setup/start capturing 5000 or so frames in one hit while your sitting there swilling down a beer or a coffee......(watever you prefer)
I'm going out on a limb 1st chance I get....to capture 6-8 mins of continuous AVI. I've been teaching myself on getting a close to perfect polar alignment by trial & error over the past couple of weeks. Cracked the technique last night! I should be able to get 5 or 6 mins continuous without mars/saturn moving off the screen.
I read your comment about you not being able to allocate how many frames per sec. Initially I had this same trouble, but then I found out one has to allocate in 2 or 3 different places in the original toucam software for the changes to take effect.
My trouble is, if I try to shoot quicker than 5FPS I will drop heaps of frames, this apparently is due to the lappy not having a very big hard disk & small RAM? (or so I've read)
