Thanks Andy and John, I appreciate your comments.

After fixing my crashing PC problems, I initially tried the Tak x1.6 Extender then decided the seeing could tolerate a higher magnification, so I fitted a TeleVue x3 Barlow but the final image was bad, even when I stacked 1,000 frames.

I reverted to a TeleVue x2.5 PowerMate and blasted away to find that the seeing was gradually deteriorating, so I grabbed what I could.

Here is a link to an animation from the 10 best imaging runs. It is a link to my DropBox Account and I believe that you can by-pass all the “Please Join” or “Please Sign In” stuff and just click "Continue to view" the animation. It is 600Kb.

@John: I judged the seeing to be mostly between 5-6/10, based on Damian Peaches animations on his “Pickering Seeing” webpage, although often it was closer to 4-5/10.
