Hi Peter
As you've read in my article, there are a number of factors that are important to getting a good shot. Seeing is the #1.
Conditions in Sydney have been horrible lately, and Sat night was no exception. Windy and hot!
Also at the focal length you're using (I assume it was at prime focus), you're not going to capture a wealth of detail - it's just too small. Do you have a barlow you can put in the imaging train?
What mono CCD are you using?
Can you post a link to the image you saw with the same scope that was really good?
