From 18th & 19th Dec.

Been doing a bit of experimenting lately with the toucam & one is combining AVIs taken at different exposures to see the effect.

Venus is comprised of 1 400 frame AVI taken at 10 FPS/1/50th sec. & colour adjusted until a deep purple (basically underexposed) on the laptop screen. Another 400 frame AVI was taken straight after but at 1/33 sec & colour on auto. Gain was added until a slight overexposure was achieved.

Stiched both AVIs together in bink & smacker, taken to registax & each frame eyeballed & rejected as necessary.

A total of 200 good frames was stacked. As to the ratio of underexposed versus slightly overexposed frames, I used more underexposed frames. (roughly 70/30)

Saturn received no special treatment. 3 AVIs stiched together & 'eyeball stacked' lol.
