great attempt.

untuk ke tahap yang tinggi sikit sila  baca disini

need a barlow to image planets using webcam.

or if you own Canon cameras download the hack software EOS camera Movie Record.  Movier will be ecorded at 4x focal length.

Kalau Canon 550D use the movie crop . Guranttee to make image bigger by 7X and ask Shahgazer how to stack the video.
don't record too long at any one time for sensor will get hot.

keep on practicing.

cheers

Good effort.

Lebih elok disertakan spesifikasi alat (teleskop or kamera) yang guna, jumlah frame yang di-stack etc. Supaya senang kami membantu lebih lanjut

Assalamualaikum.

Telescope: 70mm D
                    500mm FCL

Frame: Tak ingat, sekitar 100 - 300 (maybe)

Focus: Prime focus

....Masalah yang dihadapi dengan webcam ini, adalah imej yang diambilnya terlalu terang. X nampak detail. All you can see is white shining spot. To make things worst, the backlit cannot be control. Tried to adjust brightness, contrast and gamma, still, not helping. Tried to change the exposure, too, not helping.

you are probably on Auto exposure.

To change the exposure settings, go to Options > Video Capture Filter.  This will open the Camera Properties window. 

Begin by unchecking the Full Auto checkbox under Control.

Auto exposure disabled so gain and shutter speed can be set manually.

Drag the Camera Controls window to one side so you can see the live image in the preview window.
 
There are three main categories you will use to adjust the exposure: Image Controls, Exposure, and Frame Rate. 

you can read at the link I gave earlier how to adjust the three catergories and the reasons for the adjustment.

cheers

Assalamualaikum....

I've disabled the auto exposure, but it doesn't help. This camera doesn't allow me to control the shutter speed, nor backlit, only the gain.
I guess I should look for a better capturing device. Something from logitech maybe

most get by with older Philips toucam or new SPC900NC  or Neximager from Celestron or Meade DSI.

Beginner stick to proven products. Removes frustration and lots of peer support.

Unless you like to solve problems and issues and loves tinkering. But that would make you a gadget geek

and what oldtimers in amateur astronomy would call  a "real amateur astronomer"
