  1. I've been away from the hobby for a number of years due to lack of time (and or simply being too tired in the evenings) after having kids. We've recently moved house and now I have a bit more free time I'm digging out my gear and planning to jump back in to the hobby.

    I'd really like to find some kind of case, maybe a travel case or something, to store all of my gear (lenses, binoculars, red light torch etc.) and keep it organised whist I'm out observing. I used to keep everything in a bag for life before which is obviously far from ideal. Does anyone have any recommendations?

     

  2. I went out last night and captured a few videos of Saturn. I've picked the best one and stacked it with both AS2 and Registax 6 and I think you're right, AS2 just has the edge. See what you think:

    I'm a little disappointed with the images, to be honest. I think I had the wrong settings in SharpCap as the sky is really bright. I'm hoping to get out again tonight to try for a better capture. I did 3 minute videos at 15fps with the exposure as high as possible (-4) and managed the visibility of Saturn with the gain. I think where I went wrong, however, was to have the brightness setting too high. It's difficult to see on a laptop screen at 1am, though :)
