Jupiter with Flashed ToUcam 840K

[mightymonoped]

Quick capture last night before bed.

10fps on ToUcam 840 flashed to colour optimised non-raw mode.

Captured using QCFocus, aligned/stacked in Regi5 and processed in CS2.

ED80 + Televue 3x Barlow on EQ5

Now thats a cracking result! Have you got a link detailing how to flash in to non raw mode?

[mightymonoped]

Blinky,

The info on re-flashing the ToUcam is available on here..

The actual program can be downloaded from here..

I've just processed the first avi I captured which appears to have a bit more detail?

That looked WAY too green on my screen, here's a tinkered version at 150% size...

Raw mode can be a bit of a handful. I found it much harder to achieve focus and went back to non-raw so I could concentrate on improving other areas of my imaging.

Yes, that's why I use the Colour optimised non-raw mode. Can't be dealing with all the Beyer stuff.
