Martyn_Bannister 10 Posted October 7, 2010 Extremely nice shot. Come on then, how did you do it? Equipment details and method please Link to comment
smutly 28 Posted October 7, 2010 Martyn. I used a cheap logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 (£10 off ebay) with the ir filter removed and an old 35mm film pot taped to it so it fits nicely in the focusing tube of my SkyWatcher Explorer 130p. I then tinkered around with the gain, fps, gamma and captured a 1min 40 sec avi in some free software called wxAstroCapture. Opened the avi up in registax which separates the avi into individual frames and then stacks all the images into a single still frame, then finishing touches in photoshop. Link to comment
