all the processing was done in k3ccdtools, i didnt edit it at all, just aligned and stacked. the camera is just an old swann webcam i ripped apart to use on the scope, i really didnt expect an image like that especially with how bad the seeing was (anyone in adelaide would know what i mean)

it took me a while to think of a way of not having to hold the camera against the focusser so i ended up using an old ep cap (as i always leave an ep in the focusser ready to go), i cut out the centre of it so the ccd chip was exposed then i unscrewed an eyepiece off the extension tube part and pushed that into the cap that id stuck to the cam and bam, it just slides in like a normal ep now.

cant wait for a decent night to see what its capable of
