I personally think that it can still be good to take shots of the Moon, you can just crop the image down and stack some of the images to get a sharper detail. It can be good for taking sunrises, moonrises, sunsets, moonsets.

WilliamAstro started following FireCapture preview settings?, Canon lens 75-300 lens advice, Nexstar SLT advice! and 4 others

Does this camera lens fit on my Rebel XT? And does is it capable for photographing the moon?
-
I just had my Nexstar SLT repaired with a new spreader and a tripod leg. Is there any tips to keep the telescope from breaking? My conclusion is that I would just keep the scope all in one and not disassembles before/after finishing a session and I would just carry it in/out like that.

Firecapture FPS problem
WilliamAstro replied to WilliamAstro's topic in Getting Started With Imaging
I use a HP 17-bs024ns which has 4GB of RAM so I think that is the problem... I do have a USB3 cable length I think I use the wrong cable length such as 2.0! -
Firecapture FPS problem
WilliamAstro replied to WilliamAstro's topic in Getting Started With Imaging
I did some of the instructions you told and nothing worked... -
Everytime I start recording with my ASI120MCS the fps on FireCapture changes to 15 FPS when it is suppose to be 60FPS so I can get more frames, I have to pause it on the start then the fps settings... Can anyone help me on this?

After accidentally deleting my three processed photos of my three favourite craters, I felt bothered to reprocess them again. My three favourite craters are Plato (top), Copernicus (middle), Tycho (bottom) The Moon was around 70% illuminated at it's waxing gibbous phase. This was taken with my ZWO ASI120MC-S camera with a GSO 3X Barlow. The telescope used was Celestron Nexstar 127 SLT. Each single exposure of 5000 frames was taken at different exposure if it was too dim/bright which would drop/increase the FPS. 80%/4000 frames stacked in each single exposure.

How can I improve my seeing conditions?
WilliamAstro replied to WilliamAstro's topic in Getting Started With Imaging
1,500 frames my fps was low when I took my data of Jupiter... 8 FPS to be the exact, I used Sharpcap to record it! -

I would stack one thousand frames of data of the planet because the fps from that Jupiter capture was 8 fps, Because Jupiter was dark and the daylight sky began to brighten up from the sky. What is the best fps for Jupiter for my ASI120MC-S. P.S. I use AS!2, Registax V6 and Photoshop CC 2019 -

What do you mean so much moving around? To be honest this is the only space to get most of the planets that are in the south at low altitude. -

Well here is a view of Jupiter from Earth taken with my iPhone 7 last year on August, do you think it is a good place for seeing conditions because I go on asphalt instead in the corner of my garden to see the most of Jupiter and get enough time to capture it! @CraigT82 -

I took two footages over thousand frames then stack the two of them each and then derotate them into one single photo. Thanks for correcting me. -
I have taken an image of Jupiter with my MAK 127 SLT with a 3X Barlow, ADC and ASI120MCS and the results didn't come out good. I do understand the atmosphere is the main cause of it but I still want to know how to improve my seeing conditions of the planets. Two single exposures were stacked then derotated using WINJUPOS.

I quickly rushed out of my garden of around 3:30 to 4:00 am to take a photo of Jupiter. The seeing conditions are very poor. But I can still see cloud bands across the planet! Software Used: Sharpcap Autostakkert2! Registax V6 Photoshop CC 2019 Equipment Used: Celestron Nexstar 127 SLT ZWO ASI120MC-S ADC

Is their a way to change the preview from mono to colour in Firecapture while it is in RGB?
