Hey Up! What's going on here then?

Please see attachment.

I've recently attempted to view Jupiter using my Logitech 4000 pro webcam with 1.25 adapter placed into the focus tube using Sharpcap2 software. (using celestron 114eq scope)

I adjusted everything there is to adjust in the settings panel but unable to obtain anything but a white blob. There was no slider for gain control, which I think is the problem. There is also no setting in the Logitech driver software for adjustment of gain.

What am I not doing guys?

Thanks

Tony.

i had the same thing when i started - drop the frame rate and exposure until you can barely see the image and slowly work them back up.

Yes the exposure control is way over the top. As suggested drop it off until it is barely visible and slowly increase levels.

I struggle with a 130EQ and xBox live webcam but I've seen some great images with the SPC, so hopefully your cam is better than my cheap one.

Thanks guys, I'll give your suggestions another whirl once the skies clear.
