This is interesting as I have often thought about how great it would be to image Epsilon Lyrae, I wonder if it can be done with a planetary imaging cam? sure as heck I will try.

Epsilon Lyrae should be doable. I was messing around with imaging Zeta Cancri and you can clearly see the AB pair.

I was using a 250mm scope and and the ZWO 120MC-s.

I will have a dig around and see what settings I used. 

Cheers

Here is a quick process of zeta Cancri. I used AS3! to create the image.

The first image was taken in Feb this year. The second image was taken afocally in 2007. It does show the movement if the AB pair.

The Camera settings are as follows. I hope this helps. Cheers Ian
