2nd Saturn march 7th

[Space Cowboy]

Had another go at Saturn on Sunday night. Again the atmosphere was very unstable, Mars was just a ball of boiling pixels and Saturn was not quite in focus. Anyhow despite it only being 25 degrees Alt and over the house roof i took a 6 min avi at 15 fps. Over 5000 frames stacked 85% giving over 3000 frames.

Its better than my first attempt considering the conditions i'm reasonably encouraged lol

Used 2 x barlow btw.

gud effort m8, slightly better than 1st effort

i found when using webcam seems to be bit better @10fps than 15fps

At 15 fps a USB 1.1 webcam will start to seriously compress the image. I find it's usually best to stick to 10 fps (or 5 fps under expectionally still conditions)

Thanks Micheal I will try 10 fps next time!
