Cleaned up in Photoshop, but otherwise what I saw.
This was an eyepiece view.

All the best,
Yes the natural instinct, even for a non-imager like me is "Get out the phone! Take a picture." Fortunately the binoviewer does not encourage that. Nonetheless I DID stick a Philps TuYou cam (remember when they were all the rage?) in the diagonal and tried to record something using Orion's old AMcap on an old dell 6450. I am talking Windows 7 old. Like 10 years? More?

I have not processed the caps yet as
* I have no idea how - yes I know - something about astrostack
* Not as important to me as scanning the drawing and getting it posted!

Thanks again for the kind words

Hi Jeff, you're welcome :D

I hear you on the pics, but with a binoviewer you get the full "stereo" for sketching, and you're very good at it! As for the cam, I do remember those and my laptop is about as old as well; 2013 I believe...

Wish I could help with the stacking, but all I know is PIPP for alignment and AS3 for stacking off my Canon. Others will hopefully chime in.

All the best,
Mark
