Hi All,


Well saw a clear sky and went out last night to get some more of Saturn.
I used Qfocus (thanks Dave, K3ccd keeps crashing on me).
10fps, 20% gain, 1/24th, default brightness/contrast/sat settings.
With and without barlow. Then Stacked them in registax, used ppmcentre to centre the output bmp's.

I then stacked the non-barlowed bmps together, first picture and rescaled (mitchel in registax).

Second picture is half the stacked barlowed bmp's. Third picture is the rest, i splits these as a i changed the settings half way dont recall what i changed.

I dont know why but the results are not as good as my last attempt in my humble opinion anyway. Perhaps because i did not get as many frames, previously i did not let saturn just move accross the screen, rather i moved the dob to keep saturn in the centre and did longer captures. But comparing my frames from last time to this time, the details are not as clear.

How do yout tell if it is in focus or not just looking at the laptop screen? And should i change the saturation and brightness settings, will this make a diffrence?

Dave is there a way in qfocus to increase the displayed imagescale (zoom in), it may help me focus.

Regards
