Imaging with Video Cam

Posted By Richard Girard
Any and all advice welcome is to this NEWBY
I have read that some folks have been having good results at imaging using a digital video camera and stacking the individual frames to get decent still images if anyone has any tips and advice on this technique please feel free to razzle and dazzle me with your much envied knowledge. My equipment is as follows:
1. ETX90 RA EQ mounted with RA Drive
2. Hardin 10" dob
3. Adapter for my 14mm Radian to JVC Mini DV camera
4.Parks 2x barlow
Thanks
