parallax of nearest stars

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.
