From an email I sent.. thought there might be something useful. ------------------- Sorry for the delayed reply. I'll tell you what I've discovered so far. Normally I use sharpcap, however the binning mode didn't seem to work, so I have been using icap so far. The first thing I needed to change was the white balance values. I adjusted to get the gaps between the bands to look whiteish. Unselect Auto whiteBalance and start with values like: R=79, G=47, B=68. I left colour enhancement turned on. I use gain somewhere around 40-50, and then adjust the exposure to get Jupiter looking well exposed. (something like 1/34 - 1/15) I've been using Format Avi, and DV Video Encoder, however I haven't experimented with the compression tyres yet. Let me know what works best for you. Resolution I've been using either 640x480 without a barlow, or with a 3x barlow using 640x480 with 4x binning. The latter giving best results. I haven't been able to use the barlow without the binning and higher resolutions. I can't get a good enough image. I suspect the higher resolutions will work well for lunar imaging though! Let me know how you get on and what settings have worked best for you! Further regarding compression settings.. If you goto Record Video File -> Settings -> Video Compressor You can select uncompressed and then RGB32. That's probably going to produce the best image, but large file sizes. However I haven't experimented.
