Tonight's effort using a Canon EOS 600D in 3x crop video mode, 5x Powermate and 12" Sky-Watcher Goto Dobsonian, manually tracked. Actual frame size is shown. I will be working on this image a bit to improve it, but even now it is the best I have achieved with the setup.

Added a resized shot, a wider shot, and a video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty5uQWdwO2k

Thanks for looking,

Tom

An impressive result for a DSLR on a DOB Tom.

Very well done.

Thanks Daniel and Trevor.

I've added a wider shot which includes the 4 moons.

Detail you got looks pretty good and manual tracking sounds tricky, seeing looked avg for me and too windy unfortunately. Video is very interesting and the DSLR seems to work really well.
