Hi,

I capture frames at 30fps and till I recieve 4,500 frames.

I had completely dismantled the OTA a few weeks ago and washed the primary mirror and corrector. Recollimated visually with 5mm eyepiece = 700x.

I don't have any images of the mount with me. It is a 28 year old EQ mount that I have fitted a Thomas Matthis 14" R.A. drive to. The mount has 2" solid steel shafts on both axis. On the Declination I have fitted a 24" tangent arm slow motion adjustment.

So in short, I would say there is nothing flash about my set-up, just that the mount is very sturdy, tracks well and the conditions were very good on this night.

All the best.
