took 30sec avi's @10fps

then stacked around 200 best frames from 300

Hi James

Good pics.

I used to take pics of doubles using a compact camera and generally you could get the brighter ones easily with a exposure of around 1 seconds.

thx Ian

i only have phone camera at min,

although this has been used with albireo and gave more pleasing results than webcam, think webcam seems to make stars over bright in core.

maybe get DSLR one day or Minitron or better camera like DMK.

cheers

James
