but what a way to go. :)

Setup was simple enough - C80ED refractor on tripod with Toucam Pro webcam and Asus 901 netbook with WX Astro Capture software. The tripod was a Velbon video one with a fluid head. This makes the tracking so much easier. Focussing and fine tuning of the finderscope were carried out on Jupiter and its Moons before the pass. The still frames were extracted using Windows Movie Maker. Of approx 900 frames I got literally hundreds of successful captures - all over the frame so difficult to stack but I will try using a Barlow next time to get a better image scale.
