I've got a bunch of shots through the pronto in my Digital Astrophoto
Gallery at:

http://www.macnmotion.com/

They're clearly labelled as such.

My two most recent, taken just a week or so ago, are:

The entire eclipse gallery is taken through the Pronto. All of my
solar shots are through the Pronto. I piggyback the Pronto on my 8"
LX200. All of my Pronto shots are unguided (I perform a pretty good
polar alignment of the LX200, then keep my shots to 2-minutes or less
and stack them). I use a Milburn wedge and Milburn rings and
counterweights. Photos of the equipment are in my Equipment Gallery.

I also use a Lumicon minus violet filter, and a Televue Pronto Field
Flattener, now when taking Pronto photos -- for deep sky both of these
items are critical. Here's a shot before I had the minus violet
filter, you can see the purple fringing:

Let me know if you have any other questions about the Pronto.
