Lunar images with the SPC900NC

I had a chance to test out my wife's SPC900NC a couple nights ago on the moon and on saturn. Here's an image taken with this webcam using my APM 130/780 LW triplet apo and a 4X powermate. Seeing was rather bad, but the webcam shows promise and seems to perform better in low light compared to my ToUcam (740K). 5fps, shutter setting slider all the way to the left (I think that's 0.2 sec exposure?), gain 0% brightness 50%, contrast 50%, saturation 50%. I have no idea what this region is called....perhaps some of you do.

Here's a more agressively processed version. BTW, this is 300 frames of 1200 processed in Registax and tweaked in PS CS2.
