I wanted to try higher sampling to see if the quality could be made better. So I pulled out my 4x Powermate. With 2x binning I was hoping to max out the resolution of my 200mm Klevtsov-Cass. I set Firecapture to record 240 videos of 1000 images over 4 hours. But, of course, after months of nothing, Windows decided this was a great night to update. So while I was sound asleep, and only about 90 minutes after I started the timelapse, Windows restarted and the rest of the night was a waste. But at least I got 82 images after processing. And I did get better resolution. Or at least, it seems so. I am still not pleased with my processing skills, but I am hoping that it will improve as time goes by. The moon Ganymede popped up casting it's shadow at the end of the timelapse. An extra bonus.
