Finally!

After weeks (before the rain) of wondering firstly how to get Saturn in my scope, how to keep it in view, then why is it a bright white blur though my webcam. I finally had a break & turned off auto exposure:iamwithstupid: resulting in just over 350 frames I could put into registax!

This is the first acceptable planetary image I've produced since I took Venus on my phone without a scope (It seemed so simple at the time!), so I'd like to share it. Obviously, in future I'll use the relevant imaging subforum.

To quote a really annoying song...

Things can only get better!

Thanks folks. Obviously I'm well pleased with it, but is there anything simple & relatively cheap I could do to improve this next time? I'm using a £7 CMOS webcam - how much of a better image would I have from one of those Phillips SPC cameras everyone seems to be talking about- In short, is there likely to be a noticeable boost in quality and is it worth the cost?
