I finally had clear skies after quite a bit of fall gloom.
I was finally able to image using a new to me used Celestron CGEM Mount and my Lunt 60mm scope.
I imaged at 1024 X 768 for 90 seconds at 140 frames per second.
The mount performed flawlessly giving me greater that 50% of my frames in the 75% or better range.
I stacked 20% of 7800 frames using AutoStakkert3 and did all processing in Photoshop CC 2017.
I am pretty pleased with the detail I managed.
Thanks for looking.
Jim

Great picture! glad you are happy with the mount and also glad you have some sunshine I am having no luck at all, I haven't seen the Sun since I was in the USA and I haven't had sunshine here since July at a weekend, I think this is the worst year I have ever had.

Thank you Alexandra.
I am also fighting clouds and rain but not to the extent as you are.
I was able to setup and look but not much else yesterday and today I am socked in with clouds.
I am hoping that they clear by the weekend for the start of the International Balloon Fiesta here in Albuquerque.
9 glorious days of over 500 balloons and balloonists from all over the world.
Here's hoping your clouds figure out a new place to play and let you have some imaging time.

Good work Jim! I'm under the cloud blanket in the UK too sadly.
