What you should do is take an AVI video then stack in Autostakkert3! then you can carry out sharpening etc in Registax.

See image... use the dropdown top right, select 150% or 200% or something like that for focusing. This only zooms in on the preview screen, nothing else. 

 

Have you stacked and sharpened the video you collected? 

ok got that now thank you and I only took single shots until I get use to how it works and no idea how to stack images at moment its all new to me have googled a lot but not as helpful as asking those that know so thank you

The images do look a little out of focus. Are they single images or stacked videos ? If you capture using Sharpcap the zoom function is on the top menu bar.

single images at moment until I understand it better 

thank you

If you are using windows 10 you could check your privacy settings on the camera, I have found w10 had blocked my webcam and had to change privacy before sharpcap could show the image.

ok thank you will check

You will need to adjust the exposure setting, should be a slider. In the daytime the exposure will need to be very short, just a few milliseconds. The gain slider should also be set to low as well.  Sorry I'm not familiar with sharpcap so dont know where these settings are.

If at night you will want to be pointing at the moon as it's hard to miss! Might need 10 or 20 milliseconds on that. 

 

thanks you so much for your help will give it a try next time I am home

Leave the Barlow off for now, see if you can get it focused without

thank you and last question should the image just appear on screen once it focuses or do I need to change settings thank you

You probably need to adjust the focusing. The yellow/green colour shows that the camera is working but the telescope is out of focus.

ok will give it a go is it ok to leave 2x barlow attached thank you

What are you pointing the scope at whilst using the camera? Is this in the day ot at night? The changing light levels on the screen show it's working ok. I'd probably test it without the Barlow first if you can? Point the scope at a far off tree or spire using an eyepiece first then gently switch out the ep for the camera and refocus 

good evening I have tried this all ok until I attached camera then it just showed yellow/green screen do I need to change any settings on pc or should image just appear thank you for help
