red dwalf Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) as promised some of my efforts from Sunday night, using wx astrocapture software, 2 images using i420 and 2 using yuy2, 2 at best 100 frames and 2 at best 20 %. i don`t think theres much differance, have got some more using Sharpcap software for comparison later.

red dwalf Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 thanks Martin, just was a trial really to compair settings and software, i can`t see much differance between them, don`t think the seeing was the best it could have been either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Very nice indeed, Rob. I really want to have a god at this, at some stage.... The problem is money to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 webcams aren`t that much, Steve got a setup for £25 including the adapter and filter, free software from the net, and the good thing about using webcams on planets is you only need one or two minutes to get a capture, should be good on your light bucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red dwalf Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 cheers Mick, had a good couple of hours out there testing the colmination again with a new bit of software, looked almost spot on from when i did the star test last week, apparantly it was one of the coldest nights we`ve had this year, minus something or other cheers Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red dwalf Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) here`s the other set again, the only real differance i can see is that the yuy2 compression setting uses up more MB for the same capture length than the i420.

philjay Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Looking good Rob, I wish I had the patience for planetary Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 they were only 90 seconds each Phil and i know you take alot longer than that when imaging some serious stuff L.O.L. it seamed to take longer to get the focus right or as near as i could as it was alittle cold and my hands where shaking a bit, but mainly it was to compair the two software differances of which i think there is very little in my opinion, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
