advice for focus and color processing

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
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!

P.S.
The Weather down here (S.Fla) has been bad for the last month, clouds & haze dominate most of the nights... sigh..... (and if you add light pollution to that, well, you can kiss your night-viewing goodbye...)
