My best effort of the last few clear nights. 50GB of data altogether but only about 15GB usable.
72 stacks of 35% of 2000 frames recorded in FireCapture at 50 frames per second, details below.
Stacked in AutoStakkert2!, sharpened in Registax, derotated all 72 frames in WinJupos, then a little sharpen and tweak in Registax with conversion to JPG (16bit PNG looked really funny in the web browser !:) ), looks better as a PNG though.

You've got some very nice detail there Duncan. From my own recent efforts I know what a pig it can be to capture and process and you have done a really good job.
Carole
What a result! Very nice indeed. Well done! Tons of detail in there.
Mark
How do you dump the Firecapture settings?
Mark
Well done Duncan. very nice.
Duncan, do you think my 8" Meade/ZS66/QSi will work ok on my HEQ5pro mount?
Fay
Very nice Dunc - Loads of subtle detail showing through - John

Its an option in the Settings under Logfile I think, creates a text file along with each capture video.

Yes Fay, I think it will cope, I have used my LX90, DSLR, with SW AT80 as a (rather bigger than the ZS66) guidescope without bother as long as the balance is good. Two weights are enough.
Thanks for all the great comments!
Thanks Duncan cu soon!!
Very nice image Duncan.
