Title: Astrosnap software

Has any one any experience of using this?  I want to image Saturn soon and want to find an alternative to K3 which used to crash or freeze frequently.

If you are using a webcam I would propose QCFocus as it's very straightforward. It's easy to capture an AVI, type the desired file name in the on screen box and start and stop with the space bar.

Thanks Duncan, I'll have a look at that.
