We got some warm weather here in San Diego, and with it came bad bad seeing. I experimented with the exposure and gain to see if I could compensate with shorter exposures. I think I would rather have good seeing.

Details:
Optics - 10" Meade SCT, 3x TeleXtender
Mount - Meade LX200 GPS Alt/Az
Camera - Philips ToUcam Pro II
1/50second, 10fps, 200 second AVI
Align, stack, wavelet & gamma processing in Registax 3.
About 400/2000 frames.
Crop in MS Digital Image Suite.

Thanks,

Peter

Peter,

I think your image looks great. Whatever you did to compensate worked quite well. Can't wait to see one of your images when the seeing is good.
