Andrew,
These were taken through a Meade 8"SCT on an AZ/Alt fork mount.
Both were taken using a ZWO camera in video mode; approx 30 secs of video each. However, I stress that focus was achieved on a bright star using a bhatinov mask first. I find I can use the 'zoom' function in live view at x5 or x10 on the rear display of the camera (I use a 70d for DS work) to do my focusing & that works perfectly well.
If you're using a DSLR you may have to convert the video files to .AVI or preferably to .SER to stack in Autostakkert...
You can use a program called PIPP to convert the MP4 video from your DSLR to AVI, can't recall if it will convert to SER.. this program is free too...
