LX90 (+focal reducer) , Prime focus with Sony Alpha 300, 4 dark shots and around 10 or so at 30 second exposure.

THink that's about the best I can do with Alt AZ mount. Saving up for eq6 pro !

Hi goldenblade

Yes alt az mount difficult but not impossible if you keep exposures under a minute. You need more exposures to stack take a look at mine which is 60x 1 minute exposure stacked and processed taken with a canon 1000D and Equinox 80 ED scope.
