Sharpcam capture settings - assistance please.

[Telescope40]

Hi Peeps. I've actually managed an image run of Jupiter. Few issues. Will try to explain.

LX90 10 in scope. SPC900 webcam Sharpcam image software. NO ir/uv filter as yet.

Can now see image of Jupe and a little banding. Image run obtained. Settings used on Sharpcam as below. Has anyone an idea on which settings I have incorrectly set up.

Properties settings box set up as below -

Full auto mode - disabled

Frame rate 30 fps

auto exposure - off

shutter speed (slider type) 40% approx ???

gain (slider) 80% approx

auto white balance - off

"outdoor" radio button selected

red slider 60%

blue slider 20%

brightness 70%

contrast 60%

gamma 20%

saturation 40%

black and white, backlight compensation and mirror radio buttons are all OFF.

Dunno if any of this makes any sense at all to anyone. Will a IR UV filter greatly improve things.

Ran my frames thru registax. Just fumbled about TBH. Now have a file on my desktop -non of my programs will open it. It is in format R5P file(.R5p) wotever that is. Was going to try and add to this post for an opinion but I cant even do that.

Feel like Stan or Ollie at the moment. Very Dim !!!

Any assistance mooch appreciated.

John
