Hi Gary,

should be. I definitely learn alot from that session. Next few
items to tackle once I improve for the alignment for mount
will be autoguiding follow by imaging!!!!

Hi Clifford, AP turns out fuzzy..hahaha...need to do more
research on AP b4 I venture into it again.

Perhaps your focusing is not precise enough. Also try using the video recording function in your DSLR to capture planets and moon.

Since you already lugging so many things, might as well add a laptop and webcam and do webcam planetary astrophotography. Check out this nice basic intro tutorial --> http://www.astro.shoregalaxy.com/webcam_astro.htm

Hahaha...I've already got 2 entry level CCD (Starshoot II and DSI Pro) standing by
and a Neximage too...also bought online a used Laptop running XP to
Counter all the software cannot load problems too..

Infact, using Neximage for my first Saturn capture was the
real poison for getting me deeper into this....
