Hi Ron,
The first very quick process of an imaging run I did last night using the Prostar LP-Guide mono as an imaging camera. I used an old webcam that I had converted years ago to guide with.

Image details:
Camera - LP Guid Mono
Filter - 1.25" UHC-E (only one I have laying around)
37 x 200sec bin 1 x1
Darks, Bias, & flats calibrated.
Gain setting - 0
Frame rate - 75%
Skywatcher CF8 F/4 Astrograph
Processing:
Calibrated and stacked in PIS.
Screen stretch applied using Histogram.
No noise reduction as I wanted you to see what the output is like.
No sharpening for the same reason.
On my scope this camera has an image scale of 0.95"/pixel.

This is basically a calibrated stack, cropped the edges and applied a screen stretch and that's all.

Link to Astrobin full res version.

I will add some more data to this and give it a real process to see what I can achieve, but this at least gives you an idea that the camera is not to bad for the price.
