I am still not happy with the processing, but here it is. Seeing was good and bad. Played around with the camera settings too much, so the first four shots are different.

Equipment:
Optics - Meade 8" ACF, 3x TeleXtender, UV/IR
Mount - Astro-Physics Mach1GTO
Camera - Philips ToUcam Pro II

Exposure Information:
1/33 & 1/25 second, 10fps, 120s AVI

Grade, align, stack and other processing in ImagesPlus 3.5. Final composition in MS Digital Image suite.

Peter,

Nothing to be ashamed of there...very nice! I'm assuming you are using the Series 5000 3x telextender? I just got one a couple of weeks ago and it sure is a performer!

Peter, excellent set of images! Impact site is very clear. You should try to put them together in a .gif movie showing the rotation. Thanks for posting them

Regards,
Steve

I re-processed the best 8. The resolution is not there in the full size images, so these are resized to to 75% of capture size.
