After a couple of sessions and reading the forums for settings on the cam I finally managed to capture something reasonable for a starter. It was still a little cloudy tonight and the wind knocking the scope.

Images captured on Sharp Cap, processed in PIPP as I don't have tracking and the finally processed in Registax.

First image was with the settings below straight into the EP holder.

I'm hoping this is the start of some better planetary images as I've finally captured some detail.
Also I thought I'd better include the settings for each image to help anyone else new. Just be warned that different telescopes will require different settings. I searched the forums for examples of settings, saved them all in a profiles before I even got outside. This allowed me to quickly change settings to each extreme and then modify the closest to catching detail.
