Have fun with the pigs lester. They wouldn't happen to be Jpigs would they
See that tessellation/checkerboard pattern in you image, the most likely cause of that is compression. Try a slower fps,like 15 or 10 fps and adjust your exposure, gain, gamma etc based on those frame rates and see how you go.
Hi Lester, great start and nice shadow transit action.
I'd be really interested to see what you can do with the Meade 14 with a barlow in place - you need at least F20 on Jupiter to really do it justice. As the guys say lower the frame rate, prob 10fps is optimum. You can cature for 90 sec max without smearing so you should have 900 frames to work with. If you stack say your best 300 should be a good start.
You might want to check too what your video format size is set to. I think with my neximage it defaulted to a 2x 2pixel 320 x240 frame and I got the sort of blocky pattern that your image shows. I now use 640 x480 all the time - uses more memory of course, but better images.
Great first start Lester, but if Robert didn't beat me to it I'd recommend exactly what he says.
Use 5fps in GREAT seeing, otherwise use 10fps. It reduces compression. At 30fps, it's compressing the data horribly to shove it down the pipe fast enough, which I think is the cause of the artifacts visible on your image.
How did you process it? (registax, etc)? How many frames did you stack?
