Hi Chris

Tomorrow I should get a ZWO ADC and no doubt that will create clouds. But have you any tips regarding the use of these? Am hoping to do Jupiter, Mars and Saturn. I've a Celestron 9.25 AVX and the ZWO ASIMC120-S which gives me quite good images but I think I can do better!

Regards

  Hi Colin,
  
  This page is a great reference for ADCs:

  Once you have inserted the ADC into the image chain and the levers are together parallel to the ground, you need to open them up slowly until the red and the blue fringes on the planet vanish. If you open them too far then the red and blue fringes will swap positions. Note the planet will shift around on the sensor when you adjust the levers which can be a bit of a pain.
  
  Once you get the hang of it should really improve your images. That is assuming the cloud ever clears...
  
  Regards,
