sw 130p no barlow spc900 in avi mode 3000frames cut to 1900 or 900 forget which

as expected or could do better? quick play in regi did not bring any detail.

got this with astromaster 130, neximage and 5x barlow ( a cheap 2x and a cheap 3x on top of each other. ) cant remember exactl how many frames but was only a few hundred. seeing wasnt great either.

so i reckon you could get better

A good effort, definately would be an idea to invest in a good barlow, perhaps a powermate x4? Judging by the size the focal length must be quite short on the 130p so you'll benefit from a nice high barlow when seeing will allow. I use the revelation series of barlows and they do a good x5 for about £40. Keep at it and you will definately see improvements

is the grainyness the cam,barlow or seeing?

anything else?

iirc 10fps <1000frames no messing with settings in sharpcap other than some wavelet. may have drizzled Cr 150%.

I think it happens when you push the wavelets up to much.

Great start Lee - very impressive pics

Grainyness is likely a mixture of seeing and magnification but I'd be dead pleased with that
