I ran a HEQ5 on ASCOM with an ASI120MM on a 50mm guidescope. Sharpcap for polar alignment, PHD2 for guiding and APT for capture. It was shot in RAW and processed with Pixinsight. I used to get better results with a Canon 550D 1.6x crop, but I pushed this a bit harder considering the 5DIII is a much better quality camera, so I think if I tone town the ISO a bit I should get some nice enough images.
