I've though about that Paul, using a couple of thousand images, but the thought of wading through 3000 images with Vitual Dub on my laptop makes me shudders. If I can get my laptop networked with my PC I'd definately consider it.
Gary, just using my f/10 8" meade with a 2X omni barlow before the star diagnal (about 3X there I believe), and my trusty unmodified ToUcam. I wanted to use K3CCDtools to acquire (as I think it does a better job) but unfortunately when I started it my key had run out. So I use the capture software that came with ToUcam. Did use WcCtrl to adjust settings though.
Hopefully I'll get to try again this weekend and I'll leave the saturation down a bit. I find it makes the image too yellowish.
I used two different settings for the 3 avies, I took. 1st setting were: Exp 1/25sec, 10 fps, gain set about 40 -50, brighness around 80-90, Saturation around 90,
2nd were similar to 1st except Exp 1/33sec and 15 fps
The seeing was only just above average. Stars were still jumping around all over the place when I was focusing. Can't wait for an excellent night.
