I had another go at the moon tonight with my Webcam.

I manged to split the video with Virtual dub and Stack the frames with Registax.

I also tried to get an image of jupiter, but it was too bright. No amount of adjustment of gamma or exposure setting would reduce the glare.

Sorry to here you've got technical issues, hope you get them solved.

I tried the 2" light pollution filter you suggested. Images look much better straight from the DSLR. I look forward to trying it when the moons not so bright. Thanks for the idea. Instead of an orange glow, most of the light is a slight blue. Looks much better.

Thanks Isabelle,

I used a cheap 640 x 480 webcam with the lens removed, mounted directly to the scope using my Cannon Camera adapter and some electrical tape. The job cost me about £8. I then stacked the 30 sec AVI with Registax. I was surprised how simple it was to let Registax do all the work for me.

Regards

I really need to find myself an adapter for my camera Neil. I'm sure it would make all of the difference. I wish you clear skies!
