rob,
In theory it should be better and I believe that 6:06 is the best image and for only 300 odd frames, offers the best method of capturing if the seeing is great. Even when there is a time limit ie jupiters rotation hence 90seconds tops!
It is not a huge difference as the 5:21 at 10fps is still a fine image, but where i can, i want the best at my finger tips. I would say if you look really closely at the bands, i would say 5% better.
In all honesty, there is no hassle. the program wrmac sits on the desktop. I plug in the toucam, line up guide scope, focus and then review the quality of the "seeing" on screen. If it is looking good, within 30 seconds, i have switched to raw mode and adjusted gamma / saturation / exposure and gain. If i want to, i switch back.
To me that 30 seconds is nothing, I spend more time aligning the finder and star testing and keeping the mirror temp cooler.
So if 30 seconds to switch to raw mode to capture an avi and then 30 seconds to convert the avi to normal avi means that i can get an increase in quality from 6:06 compared to 5:21, then it is well worth it!
The only planet I have not got this raw mode working for is saturn, I may need to try an IR/UV filter?
