Hi UniverseToday,
Finally, after a while, last night the sky was almost clear, so I took the chance to image Uranus, not even 12 hours after the opposition. The outside temperature (8 °C) and humidity (90%) could have been a minus, but I really wanted to test the new Toucam for planetary shooting.
I made 5 videos of 2 minutes (5 frames per second) with (attempted) manual tracking of the planet, with a Toucam Pro II on a newtonian 200/1000 on EQ5 unmotorized mount.
I then worked with Registax, getting from each video frame 6-700 useful shots to elaborate further with the same software. In this way, I got 5 different images, and I stacked them in PS, doing some minor stuff such as adjusting levels slightly and reduce a bit the saturation.
