I'm not sure I can get the ovals as clear as yours with an 8" SCT but that will be my goal. I just experimented with a Bahtinov mask and found that my central diffraction spike was dead center between the other two spikes and my collimation is about as perfect as I can make it so I'll keep working to increase the clarity and brightness of my image. Do you remember any of your gain, gamma, exposure time, brightness and hue settings in IC Capture? Did you set the frame rate at 15 or 30 fps?
Thanks,

Hi Peter, & thanks for your comments.
As to your questions, I can't remember the gain settings, (roughly 800)but the gamma I leave @ default most of the time (100) I always aim for a full histogram. Brightness is left at zero. Hue is set to exactly halfway on the slider. Colour balance is achieved by looking at the RGB histogram & adjusting the R & B sliders until they are identical. Forget about the G slider. I stay clear of 60FPS as I'm not getting very good results, & I'm also staying clear of post debayering (Y800 codec) in registax. I shoot using YUYV + unspecified. Maximum frame rate is 30 so my usual exposure is either 1/30th or 1/45th sec.
I'll have a look at your thread to see if I can offer any assistance
