Wow that's really nice and sharp Brent, well done. Are you going to try a mosaic?

It's in the plan Rolf. Still trying to sort out the guiding. Had some issues with PHD and CDC\EQMOD clashing for control of the system (I think).
My biggest task at present is to get a stable hardware\software system going. And I can see the need for a gamepad now that I have PC control.
One thing at a time, just wish I had more time and more skies to play with.

Nice Shots Brent.

Did a bit of lunar shooting last night too (see attached).

Use a Canon 600d on the back of a Celestron Off-Axis guider, 6.3 focal reducer and a C8 SCT XLT Scope. Applied no filtering.

I too am finding guiding a bit tedious, as the shots I did of Jupiter were fuzzy even at fast capture rates.
