very easy with QHY5L-II @ f/45 ish and metaguide and infrared filter and mag 3 ish star. in fact i didnt even need metaguide tbh, it just made it quicker because i didnt have to wait for good seeing for fleeting moments. you can very easily just use firecapture like i did initially.
i messed about with all sorts of other methods. artificial star is useless despite all the raving on the internet. DSLR is also near useless, too much dispersion/not enough resolution.
make sure you get Bob's Knobs - godsend.
