yip definitely getting there, you've can tick off the image scale and focusing problem, all you need do now is get the exposure right, how many frames did you stack ?

Cheers Dave. I stacked 1000 frames captured at 15fps; I'm probably not being judicious enough in my choice of frames though, I'm just stacking whatever I capture. I bumped the gamma and brightness a tad.
I had to image over someone's roof which was probably dumping heat out so I don't expect to get much more clarity than this.

Cheers Brendan, I tried imaging it again last night but didn't get any improvement so I think I'll just work on the scope collimation and use my built-in cameras until I get the scope out into the sticks.
I'm really pleased with how easy the MK-67 is to work with and the views are lovely.
