Hi Dennis,
Every time I've tried to image MPs with the iTelescopes, I've failed. I set the exposure time too short trying to avoid trailing & end up recording nothing. Just need to keep at it I suppose. The Tycho Tracker software may help in that regard. It will stack images & take account of the motion of the MP in the FOV. It also can try multiple speed & position angles for a moving object, looking for the one set of parameters that produces the best image of the object. It's a very cool capability but, compute intensive. Fortunately, it incorporates GPU acceleration to speed up processing.
