devoncow Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hi SGL!Registered a while ago to use the search facility while doing my research before buying a scope, and felt it was about time I said "Hi" and thanks Me and my brother recently bought a Skywatcher Explorer 130 (the clearance one from FLO - who were great by the way) and have been observing Saturn and a few doubles so far.We've also dabbled a little with putting a webcam on it just to see Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devoncow Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hi there and welcome to SGL.Which webcam have you been trying out?Clear Skies!MattEdit: Is that Mr Flibble in your profile picture?Hi Matt,Thanks for the welcome! I got the xbox 360 cam from ebay, less than £5 delivered I've managed a short video of Saturn only as without a motor on our mount it zooms across the sensor, let's see if I can figure out how to post the stacked image...quite pleased with that for a first go, followed the guide by JamesF although I think I need a bigger image to start with and yes, that is Mr Flibble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattscar Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Firstly - Mr Flibble gets nowhere near the recognition he deserves.Secondly - Im 100% positive if you put your image in the 'getting started with imaging' section there will be a flurry of people with advice.
