Considering the clouds stayed away and it was a beautiful night I decided to do a bit of imaging. This is my attempt at Jupiter with a 4" telescope and a $25 webcam.
That's a great image. I reckon that you could insert a x2 Barlow and increase the image scale, as you have good detail and focus in the equatorial bands which looks like it will withstand increased magnification.
Congratulation on your becoming a member of a very exclusive club Ed. "The Imaging Dobs of IIS" Great Stuff!!. I take my hat of to anyone using push/pull who's prepared to give it a go.
The camera is called a"Twinkle Cam" I picked it up at the markets a while back to experiment with imaging to see what type of images I could come up with. The settings it has I think are only the basic brightness, contrast ext...
Hardy Ha Ha... My so called imaging wasn't done with the beast it was with my other scope which is a 4" Newtonian.
And as far as the "Twinkle Cam" goes the name suits its purpose
Twinkle, Twinkle little star how I wonder what you are.

Ed you will be please to know the images you posted were like my very first images in May last year and they even look the same. My suggestion is; just go and get the Toucam, a really decent barlow or powermate. Check your collimation and get it spot on and you should by pass half the experimentation that I had.
Imaging the planets can be very addictive, so be warned.
