@astroval1: did you use any eyepiece besides the barlow? I've got the Nexstar 4SE aswell, I'm looking into astrophotography. I don't have any experience with that yet.

@sinisterem I am using Celestron Eyepiece and Filter Kit - 1.25 Inch.

Great vid mate, I use sharpcap with a Philps SPC900 and skywatcher 8" maksutov but my live view image is nothig like yours it's plain white with dark belts, your image seam to have very good coulors. do you think I should switch to Amcap or do you have any tips how to get ther setting right is sharpcap. Cheers

@truemartian1 Philps SPC900 is great WebCam for astrophotography, and with 8 inch scope you can get even better result. My scope have GOTO navigation, so it is not problem to make 2-4 min video of planet. After that to get good Image with Registax just technical problem - after 2 days experiments you will be able to do the same as I can do. If you got 2-4 min video with your DOB you will get much better image than I got with 4 inch scope. Clear skies!

Thank you very much for this video!

I learned a lot from it again.

Fantastic work astroval particularly with the registax...i have learned a lot from this..i used reistax and imaged from my saturn video but the results were not that great..it seems the software has much more to offer than I thought.
