In most cases if your DSLR has a movie mode, you attach the camera to the back of the scope and record your .avi and process it with Autostakkert or Registax in the usual way.

Nice one Tom.

I'd like to see you capture more data, say 2-3 minutes worth. At 50fps that will give AS!2 a lot more to work with, up to 3000 frames depending on the seeing.
You'll start to see the finer detail pop out then.

That looks brilliant Tom, did you have trouble getting registax to recognize your .mov? Mine spits the dummy so I've given up and just use RAW files in DeepSkyStacker.

Thanks for the comments.

Pat, I use Backyard EOS to image with my setup.
it has a planetary function where it takes a pre set number of exposures and converts them to AVIs, then I process this in Registax.
Murphy, I did have problems originally, but using Virtualdub and save as old AVI format. This seems to work OK.

Cheers
Bigtom

i have been using free conversion software i found on the net to convert my .mov to avi. just have to change the compression settings to something that registax likes. http://www.any-video-converter.com/p...or_video_free/
