Wow! That's a great pic. Would you mind giving some info on how you took it. What camera, fps, how many frames, software etc.

Superb image!  I secretly hoping he's missed a '1' from his post and he's using a 15" reflector

That is one of the better  images, I  have seen so on here, so far. Very  good.

Rubbish seeing  here lately. That Jet Stream is a killer.

keen to see the full equipment list used

[Kakadush]

Thank you all for the positive feedback , i'm glad you liked it  

Here's some details for those who asked for them : 

Equipment : 
*Celestron 130 SLT scope (5" primary , 650 FL) 
*X3 Meade barlow

Capture & Process : 
*Firecapture for capturing the AVI , note that by decreasing the ROI to 320x200 and carefully tracking manually i was able to achieve ~100 FPS.

Hope this helps ,
