Hi

Image of Jupiter taken on the 5th October with a DFK colour camera and an 8" Meade LX10 using a 2x barlow at F20. I am staring to get the hang of this but need to work on collimation and accurate focusing.

Thanks everyone
A quick question on avi size. The colour DFK creates big files with 1500 frames taking up about 1.2 Gb. My laptop only has 1Gb of memory so I can only process about 1000 frames at a time. Is there a way to get better compression without losing data?. I used RGB 24 bit as everything else comes out in B&W. Failing that do I just need more memory for the lappy?
