Got a chance to use my Philips spc900 web cam on Saturn. I used a TEC 140 with a 2x barlow. Not a good night of seeing but I was out so I gave it a try.

Here is another shot. Both are fuzzy but not to bad for a web camera shot.

Dwight, good image! The blue data is extremely dim. Next time try controlling the webcam with http://www.burri-web.org/bm98/soft/wcctrl/index.htm this will allow you to balance the colors exactly as you want them before you start to capture. It will also save up to 5 settings. I took the luminosity out of your image and saved it as blue, then recombined it, hope you don't mind. That scope should do well under the right seeing conditions.

Regards,
Steve

Steve, thanks for the work. I did not know much about controlling the web cam. I will work on getting a better shot of it if the seeing improves.
