Saturn 2/20

Image obtained with C14, 2X barlow and Toucam. 1532 frames @1/50th second. Seeing 5/10 not great stability but decent.
Can't seem to get the color right....


Clear skies.....

Jim, there is nice detail in your image if you can get the Toucam settings optimized. My best settings so far with my C11/2.5x barlow were: 10fps, 1/25sec, 50% Br, 35% Gam, 100% Sat, 38% Gain, Color on set to Auto. I have seen this bluish color if the frame rate or gamma is set too high or if the color is set to manual and the sliders are way out. What settings did you use? For saving up to 6 default webcam sttings and fine tuning during imaging I use freeware http://www.burri-web.org/bm98/soft/wcctrl/screens.htm The collimation of your scope seems excellent based on the sharpness of the image. That's the part I continue to struggle with. Hope this helps! Please keep posting

Brightness on the camera or in Registax?

Generally a nice image though. Here it is after a couple histogram tweaks in Registax...
