<p>David,<br></br> There's nothing wrong at all with the setup your using, I started with a similar setup (Meade 10" SCT on an LXD75 mount). I haven't tried the Orion solar system imager, but I agree with what's been poster here so far... I would try to get the planet brighter (slow the frame rate a little). My first time shooting planets resulted in a shot quite like yours, though I was using a DSLR. You also may be able to adjust the color levels, lower the green color for a more natural look...…</p>

You also may be able to adjust the color levels, lower the green color for a more natural look... pretty sure you can do that in MaximDL. Don't be afraid to play around with the color levels, my shots of Jupiter don't start off anything like the final result.... I'll post a before and after image for you.</p>

<p>I would try to adjust the frame rate to make the planet brighter. Believe it or not, my first <a href="http://coatesastrophotography.com/p711377493/h296ff304#h296ff304" target="_blank">astroimage was Jupiter</a> using a Nikon d40 and I just did 100 or so individual subs (jpeg). The total time it took me was over 90sec, I'm sure, and I still got a lot of good details in the clouds. This was beginners luck at it's finest!</p>

<p>I would try to increase your exposure time and see if that helps. Are you using any filters when imaging?</p>
