Hi Weixing & Boothee, Thanks!

These are stacked images of between 300 to 500 avi files, compiled by k3ccdtools. Most of the time, I was shooting through the clouds and the seeing was below average.

Hi Remus, I have loads of fun with this camera! More bang for the money than rest of my astro equipments. Being a successor to the ubiquitous Toucam, its performance should equal if not better the Toucam (however i have no experience with the Toucam).
It can be quite a capable guide camera too. Not modified for long exposure, its still able to detect stars of Mag. 5 to 6 with a 80mm refractor under urban skies.

They cannot be seen by any existing scope today on earth as they are too small. You need to go into lunar orbit to see them.
