Looks pretty good! The colors are definitely coming through, and I don't see any visual artifacts.

Yeah, taking pictures of a CRT can be tricky. I also will typically just take a bunch and pick the best.

I have found that the orientation of the CCD makes a huge difference though. Sometimes, if the picture is flashing too much, turning the camera 90 degrees will cure it. Sometimes it also requires that I move my camera closer or further away from the screen. Typically, I can get an acceptable picture by cycling through those two parameters (rotate camera, slowly move camera towards and away from CRT).
