Sounds like a plan Mike,
The DMK21AU618 sounds interesting, it would be great if they change the IC Capture software to allow for a wider range of frame rates and to automatically match the exposure to the selected frame rate, as currently happens with FireCapture. It might be worth the experiment to see if the new DMK will run on FireCapture.
Having the ability to capture 16 bit data with the Flea3 is a bonus. Well, 12 bit really as the last four digits are all zero's and don't contribute to the image. I have seen some nice images that have been captured with the new DMK, however they have been with C-14"s from the US where Jup is at a higher alt than it is currently for us. As a matter of interest for the last 12 months all of my Saturn captures have been as 16bit FIT files not 8 bit avi although I have been going with 8 bit avi for Jupiter simply because of the bottle neck that occurs with my particular capture setup when trying to dump 16bit data at more than 50 fps onto my 2 Tb external drive. Obviously the higher frame rates with 8 bit data don't cause such problems.
Look forward to seeing what you produce with the new DMK.

Trevor
