Thanks Mike! Celestron NexImage webcam, no tracking on scope. Therefore I'm limited to short AVIs as the target drifts across the laptop screen. Fortunately I can keep things on-screen reasonably easily with the motorised Alt-Az mount, but it's too jerky to try to stabilise it there. The 2x Barlow gives me f16, but with the small aperture (114mm) & consequent low light I have to use fairly long shutter speeds at high mag (couldn't go any higher than this), and focus can be a real pain in the low light. Even so, it's a great challenge & real fun!

Cheers -
