Posted the wrong image. Here is the one I wanted to post.
Logitech Quickcam
Mewlon 250 @ 15000 mm
IR block filter
500 frames aligned and stacked with K3CCD
processed with R/3 and PS CS
Seeing is alway bad where I live. Not sure why. Sometimes I wonder if I should keep such an expensive scope if the seeing is never more than mediocre.

Hi Brian,

Very! nice image, at a 15000mm FL (Wow) I'm guessing this may be the actual image size, nice processing.

Thanks,

Brian,

That's not a terrible image, but I wonder if F/60 might be too much scale. Have you tried something like F/30 and see how it comes out? I just received a Mewlon 250, waiting on a missing counterbalance weight and am hoping it performs to it's reputation.
