catman161 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hey guys, After failing to get anything lookng good on the live screen on laptop Stephen and Phil saved the day and advised what I was doing wrong and I managed to get a good few avis before the clouds rolled in. The below image is best 95% of a shorter avi (742 frames) and was taken with an SPC900NC with Sharpcap. Equipment was 200P on NEQ6 Pro and 2x 2 inch Televue Powermate. No processing other than registax as I don't really know how! Hope you like, advice welcomed As I said I have a few more avis to sort through and process so will post more when I get a chance.

catman161 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hi Felix if I could suggest you download "ic capture" I find that as a lot more control when I put the reference point I use multi points I find the best frame the one that shows the best detail ,I then put 6 around the circle of Jupe ,then a couple in the middle it takes longer but I find it works out better in the end I multi point on the moon as well seems to yield crisper detailed images Pat Nice one, thanks pat I will have a look at that is that instead of registax or instead of sharp cap?

catman161 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Felix sorry its instead of sharpcap I find its better ,I use registax5 for stacking I like avistack as well it's got loads of settings to play about with I hope your ready for the addiction to the planets and moons jupiter will set you up for the mighty Saturn the king of planets for me Cheers pat Cool thanks pat. Yes I am looking forward to having a go at Saturn soon too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyboy1970 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 IC capture will only work with DMK's as it checks to see that one is connected before opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Oh well nevermind. Thanks anyway Pat. Is probably better for me to stick with one bit of software to begin with anyway until I get a bit better at all the functions etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
