Actually this is from last week I just had time to process it. Its 36 of the best images from 200. I used a CP5000 with a William Optics 24mm eyepiece adapter and a 2x barlow. This was attached to a 12"LX200. I was very pleased with the results.

200 frames ?
Did you take them by hand or are you using some sort of remote control ?

I got to hand it to you Mark, you got a good one. I can't use my 5000 right now, I wore out the Nikon remote and need to get another one.
