OK here is my effort from lastnight, not that good and not as good as what it looks like through the scope, but considering what I was using I am suprised I detail at all.

This is about 750 frames aligned and stacked in registax, waveletts were fairly high on 4, 5 and 6. All automatic. resized by 150% too.

Seeing was pretty good about 7/10.. I used my little 4" TAL-1 without focuser as my EP's dont reach focus with the normal focuser in it. The 4mm plossl was just held in place with a bit of tape. This was done using eyepiece projection with a fuji finepix s7000 set to movie mode.

Hi Andrew, not bad for a setup held together with sticky tape.

Looks like you got the GRS at lower left. Is the Fuji a camcorder?

cheers,

No it's a digital camera, Just had it set to movie mode

Gotta be happy with that considering! You've captured some good detail there.
Well done.

Good one Andrew. Good contrast on the first one. Makes the bands & details stand out more.

Well done mate.
