1st Saturn with the LPI.

G'day!

I ain't fishing for nice comments on this pic lol. Just thought I'd show you.

It's only 46 images stacked & because of the nasty seeing conditions of late it took a long time to get them with the setting of 85% in the meade software.

No mate, keeps clouding over at the wrong times to do any decent experiments. Yeah, need more images stacked that's for sure!

Rob, what's the LPI like to use with the K3CCD software? Is this worth a go? Not overly wrapped with the meade software......Although I love to stack as I go & I like the tracking option as well!

John the LPI works quite well in K3CCDtools. It does give you more scope to move and it will image quite well. I spent quite alot of time using the LPI before I got the Toucam and found it to be pretty good with K3CCDtools, I did not like the meade software myself.
