Woo-hooooo!

Well done Paula.

The colours look good to me

They would look great captured at a higher resolution. Which resolution did you use and what resolutions are available with the NexImage?

Nice going there, Paula

Thanks Ken & Carl.
Captured video resolution was 640x480 using AMCap, not sure what the highest resolution the neximage can go to. Will see if i can bump it up next time.

EDIT: Just checked the one i'm using can only go up to 640x480.

Try and make .avi's of the planets of around 30-50 secs in length. Then take the best of all the individual frames in the avi's and stack them.

You'll find that your pics will improve greatly

You'll need the following apps to do so...Registax and AviStack

Yep thats what i've been doing can only get around 10-15sec of video because my dob doesn't track, and then i use Registax to stack and process

You can use multiple short duration videos as a bigger video to compensate that your scope doesn't track!
