Hey guys.
I was keen to test out my optics with some imaging last night, after fixing my pinched secondary. I was also keen to use my new motorised focuser to get sharp focus. Unfortunately the seeing was completely ordinary so neither test was conclusive. I'm somewhat surprised that the result turned out ok, after watching jupiter swim about on the screen. The GRS was about to transit but Lost was about to start, so I didn't wait around for the seeing to get better and the GRS to transit. Details: Scope: 10" dob without tracking Seeing: 3.5/10 Transparency: 6.5/10 Capture: ToUcam 10fps, 1/25s, 0 gain, 0 gamma, 95% saturation FL: ~3100mm, using 2.4x barlow pulled out and ToUcam pulled out Processing: virtualdub, ppmcentre, registax (~50-80 frames stacked), AstraImage (bottom row). Feedback and comments welcomed. Hopefully my tracking platform is only 2-3 weeks away!

Wow. Those are terrific pictures iceman! The bottom two are definitely sharper than the top two.
