SPC880/900

Hi all.

I just bought a flashed 880 and nosepiece from Morgans and am wondering what the best settings are to use in sharpcap.

Can anyone help?

There is an excellent video tutorial here...

Thanks but I'm looking for the webcam settings i.e. gain etc.

There are a couple of other tutorials on Astronomy Shed which talk about the gain settings

Obviously it depends on what you are trying to capture - if it's a planet like saturn start with them as high as they go then back them down until it looks slightly underexposed - with the moon, especially when full then the settings will be a lot lower - however, each session will vary depending on the seeing conditions
