100 times better than anything I've ever tried to do. Looks great.

nice one (you've been busy touring the Solar System haven't you)!

Thanks Cristian & Robert. Yeah, but I wish there was something else to shoot with an un-modified toucam.

good one mate,

try tuc47, with the gain set almost 100% or even the trap!!!!.

with your tracking, you could get a fairly good video to stack.

I have even been thinking of any planetary nebs that need 200+ x , might go ok with say 200 or 300 frames stacked might bring out some detail????

see if you can resolve 6 stars in the trap ini an image????

you will be at nearly 1800 divide 6 = 300x!!!

Nice one! Looks great.

Is there a reason you're imaging in 320x240 resolution?

davidpretorius · #7 13-11-2005, 07:08 AM

mike, ken and asi probably not sure where to change it at the moment. Plus i always find that phillips video software always defaults to 320 x 200. K3ccd or iris is the next step.

Yeah, the default is 320 X 240. I'm using the maximum size now though.
