I have been using Celestron nexstar 8se for a little while and I enjoy viewing the planets and few constellations. I enjoyed the view that I wanted to capture them. Tried connecting my very old DSLR (Canon eos 600D), but capture very faint objects and i noticed there was focus issue, blamed it on the DSLR and bought a ASI 183MC pro (on marketPlace - impulsive shopping).
Now, the videos and online forums i see that the camera is directly connected to the telescope, but this ASI did not have a connector that gets to the telescope, I could use part of the dslr's t connector to make it fit like below:
First problem: Though I can see the planets/stars clearly through the lens, when I replace it with camera, it totally out of focus. In this case, the Jupiter which was clearly visible with its moons appeared like this -
I did kept adjusting the focuser turning it for every pic until I got something decent
Finally
What am I doing wrong here? I was expecting the astro camera to capture what I see through the lense, maybe more.
