The image below is a stacked image. I know we are not supposed to post those here. However, I think the comparison between the single exposure and the stacked image is noteworthy.
The stacked image is from 30 40 second subs and the processing took about 2 hours with my limited experience.
I like the stacked image but I like the instant gratification of the single exposure even more. It is nice to have one camera that can do both though.

Spent some time on the 12 inch Dob and used the mini NTech camera to capture M57. This in in my light polluted driveway and no filters of any kind used. This was with no AGC and sense up at 1024.

This M57 was taken through my new Celestron C11-XLT with the NTech Video Camera in Color mode. I like this telescope much better than the 12 inch Dob and look forward to many years of use with it.
Collimation was off during this take so the stars appeared smeared. I corrected the collimation after this session.

First Jupiter. Skies 3. Frame capture/snapshot. Untouched jpeg. Equip specs: Orion 8" SVP, SCB2000 (zoom set at 2.3), 2x barlow'd, IR cut. What f.l. is the Sammy out of the box, no zoom (compared to an eyepiece)?

1/3" sensor = approximately the fov of a 6mm 50° eyepiece (like a Plossl)
Really nice Jupiter by the way Jerry.

Mark,
Thank you very much. So, with my 203mm aperture and 1000mm focal length, my calculation should be (appx.): 1000/1.4 = 714x? Wow, I don't know if that is possible with my scope. Does that seem right?

Jerry,
First actual magnification comparisons get a little silly with digital cameras since you can change the final representation at will. Actual magnifications rely on how you reproduce the image that's on the CCD/CMOS sensor.
With your Sammy and a 1000mm scope Jupiter will appear to be the same size when measured against the fov of a 6mm Plossl eyepiece as across the fov of the camera. A 6mm eyepiece in your scope will produce about 167X.
For your Jupiter shot with a 2x Barlow your working at about 2000mm ... so about 333x, then with the digital zoom at 2.3x you'd be at something equivalent to 767x. Yes, this is magnification that likely wouldn't be very useful visually, but remember that you're actually capturing at 333x and only then increasing the magnification of the image within the camera.
The video camera is however running at many frames per second (depends on what exposure settings you used) and so it's "freezing" the seeing. I'll bet looking at all the individual frames in the video stream that the majority of them wouldn't be very good.

Mark,
Thanks again, very informative. Yes, the avi. stream is rough. Respectfully, how is it that you come by all your knowledge related to these questions, if I may?

Here is M2 captured through a C11 mounted on a CGEM-DX with a near full moon. The NTech video camera was set with AGC low and sense up X64 with a .5 Focal reducer, hence the coma at the edges.

Nice Image, stacked or otherwise..Here is a shot I took from my first light broadcast of M27.I used my Astro Tech 72mmED with the MC Universe and a 2" extension tube, no filtering, a single 50 second exposure, gain at 18.25, Gama at -15, Contrast at -20, Auto white balance.. Picture cropped to 800x800 aprox
