Hi There,

Thought I would throw this image into the mix. I took it not too long ago and have been messing with processing. This was taken using my LX200 8" Classic in alt-az mode, with a barlowed (2X) Philips SPC900 web cam. Seeing was maybe 3/5. This was best 270 out of 900 frames from a .AVI file.

Thanks to Dan Petersen for his tips!

Cheers,
Phil
