Hi Peter,

I think this is a good effort with the equipment you are using.
When pushing your equipment to the max basic things like collimation become critical.

Considering the exposure you are using and the magnification, you have done a good job to produce this image.

To use higher frame rates and shorter exposures with objects that are not all that bright, there really is no substitute for aperture.

Maybe it is worth trying at 2 x, although it will result in a smaller image it may be high enough resolution to blow up to similar size to this image and probably show more detail.

At least you are getting out there and having a go and progressing along the planetary imaging learning curve.

Regards
Trevor
