Here's my second attempt at jupiter, using an ancient logitech quickcam i converted for astro use.

This was taken unbarlowed with my 200p, 40 frames stacked in lynkeos.

Considering there are only about 20 pixels in this webcam, i'm quite pleased with the result, although the image scale has suffered a little, i think it's much cleaner and sharper than my previous attempt, with a compact digital pressed up against the lens. (shown below for comparison)

using my 2x barlow would improve the image scale, but i was struggling enough as it was to get jupiter in the narrow FOV for long enough, so it may be a test of my patience, but i think it could be worth it.

There was initially an odd colour cast, which i removed with the termperature and tint settings easily enough, but i assume it was due to the loss of the cameras IR filter in the modification stage?

any hints or tips welcome ;)
