Hi all, finally managed to get some imaging action last night (Nov 5), from light polluted Melbourne.
The image below is from a short 4 min video on a unmodded SPC900, 2x Barlow (non-ED), Celestron 8SE on single arm AZ mount.
Setting was 15 FPS, 1/125 sec exp, about 65% gain and minor tweaking of brightness, contrast and gamma.
Processed with Registax 5 with 81 frames.
Somehow I just cant get the focus right. Driver error?

The unbarlowed version seemed better.
Comments and feedback appreciated.
Bo
