James / TechnoViking,
I am in the same boat as you... trying to learn EVERYTHING about using a DSLR on my telescope in 2 days if I can!!! In reality, it has been a few months, and still learning more each time I take it out!
I'm using a Canon 60D, and the movie crop mode works well. Can be hard to get the focus tight enough, but worth keeping going. I'm using the BackyardEOS program to do my capture, Registax 6 to stack and process... and the combination seems to be working well.
I have been bumping my ISO speed up as high as I dare, and using a shutter speed of about 1/200th of a second... theory being that I am trying to leave the shutter speed as quick as possible to try and help "freeze" the atmospheric turbulence as much as I can.
Even had a go at some deep space objects the other night... reasonably pleased with how it turned out for a first go... but a LONG way to go for it to be really good.
Mark,
What size LX90 you using? Doesn't say in your signature block. I have the 8" LX90, would love to be able to get a photo of Jupiter as great as yours, but I am not close yet.
Geoff.
