yup
On saturn image i have removed blue channel (only cromatics abbrivation) and sharped abit with unsharp mask
and on moon: unsharp mask, greyscaled and some adjustment of curves
Also got vid of saturn. .avi Thinking of maybe going true all frames looking for some sharper image. In the video i noticed that the wind is a big fact when taking shots at this high magnification and it was pretty windy outside yesterday. So hoping for even better conditions today. Earlier it has been so could outside that the legs of the tripod has forzen to the ground makes it pretty steady.
Could i use that Registax program on my avi file?

Its a lnb bracket (used for mounting lnb to satelite dish) and a bolt. Simple, but works if you got good patiant
As for the moon u can hold your camera over because u dont need that long exposure time so it wont be blurred out. Still its better to have it fixed. I take up to 30 images. When i think i found right focus. I take some, then refocus the scope a litle bit. Take more photos then turn the focus the otherway and take more photos. Only way for me, since its a tiny lcd screen.
