Seeing was pretty appalling last night and a lot of processing was needed to get even this amount of detail out of my new (to me) C8. Although the processing artefact rather spoils the image, I'm hopeful that when the seeing is good, I'll be able to fine-tune collimation, increase magnification and start getting some nice images...

Just for comparison I've put the Calsky simulation next to my image.

C8, ToUcam II, 2x TV Barlow, IR/UV block filter
900 frames stacked and processed in Registax 3
