advice for focus and color processing

This my first attempt for saturn wind and atmosphere were definetly a factor with this but I think most of you would be able to better. I am having a hard time focusing on my laptop I can'ty seem to get good definition I using a 10" reflector f/5 a 2x barlow and Toucam Pro 840 this was 137 of 1300 stacked with Registax

Thanks for any comments

Rich, not bad at all for a First Try!

Focusing is the most critical & the most TIME CONSUMING procedure when capturing images...

SEEING could be part of your problem too, as BAD seeing could prevent you from reaching GOOD focus...

I normally set my webcam for higher frames per second (like 15-30fps) so that the image will reflect focusing changes faster. And after going IN & OUT of focus several times to get a feeling for the RIGHT position, I then change the frames per second to 5-10fps for higher quality capture...



Hope this helps a little,



Clear skies!
