4 minutes of 10FPS video total

 

adding luminance was just an experiment

 

seeing was bad, the planet jiggled like a raw egg yolk

 

haven't bought a barlow yet, a new coma corrector was more pressing at the moment because I'm more into DSO stuff

I have that problems with my scope too. Jiggles right off the screen when using Sharp Cap before I can hit quick capture. Won't a barlow just make it fuzzier? My viewing just after 12am was so bad I didn't take a single shot. Next week my 8 inch scope is suppose to be here, cant wait but I will have too. 

 

Not Bad for as crappy as the viewing was.

Which scope were you using? I am not familiar  with your rigs.

yeah, maybe a barlow would make it worse

 

I was using a C8-Newtonian with the AVX mount, this pair

 

I used an ASI2600MM Pro, with a GPU coma corrector (the corrector is probably unnecessary for planetary, but that was the way it was since I'm into DSOs)

 

thank you
