4 panes. 200 frames per pane. Pipp>AS!3>IMPPG>Photoshop & LTVT. 

There are some strange processing artefacts in this one but overall I like how sharp it is.

Very nice indeed. Those little Skymax scopes are really sharp. Thinking of getting something like that as a grab'n'go lunar imaging scope

Nicely done John, did you get any planets at dawn ? I was going to but had to go to bed a 3.00am

Thanks Michael. I bought this from Jules for a grab'n'go for lunar but it's turned in to my every day lunar

If/when I go bigger it may well be to a skymax 150.

I did, pointless imaging planets with the DSLR mate but I did get some wide shots and good views. 2 planets in the same eyepiece fov is a unique experience  Here's a time-lapse.

I am considering the Vixen VMC 110 L. Has a good reputation, is very light. At F/9.4 it is relatively fast too for a (modified) Maksutov.
