Thanks guys!
I will play with the capture settings as Rob suggested. I was lazy and just used the default Philips V Lounge program. I think I wx Webcam Control, but will give Astro Capture a go.
I have a 10:1 crayford focuser, but agree that focusing (and re-focusing throughout the imaging session) is very difficult. Jupiter was about 30-40 from the horizon, so lots of atmospheric disturbances.
I am not put off by my initial effort with the C8. If anything, I am pleased with the ease which it captured the images. I will re-check my collimation and see if I can improve it a bit more as well, but don't think I can do anything about mirror slop other than keeping an eye on the focus.
Will keep trying and keep posting.
Exit me,
Bo
