parallax of nearest stars

[Somnium]

i was wondering if anyone has had a go (or known someone who has) at imaging the parallax movement of Proxima Centauri or Alpha Centauri. i realise that this is going to be less than an arc second of movement and would be extremely difficult to pick up with a ground based, amateur telescope but it would be very interesting to see.

Hi Andrew, Those appear to be images of the proper motion of the star, not the parallax
