Hi All, I haven't been imaging in a while but this month I managed to shoot Proxima Centauri, a target I've always wanted to capture but never got around to.
Image is here:

The image is a composite with luminance taken without IR block filter on 13/05/2010 and RGB data taken on 19/05/2010 with IR block filter to ensure correct colours of the stars.
Taken with 10" Newtonian and ToUCam Pro SC1, no guiding.
Proxima has a relatively large proper motion and I found it to be quite a bit off from it's given position in Starry Night Pro. It is moving 3.85 arcseconds per year across the sky, so images taken with a year in between would clearly show it moving.
Hope you enjoy!
Regards Rolf
