Hi All, I have got a good image of sun in eyepieces with blocking filter out 35mm to get it on to laptop with zwo asi 178 camera do I need to push blocking filter in or pull it out to get rough focus and then fine focus with focuser which is set in center, then tune presser tuner or will it be OK as it was set for eyepieces. peter

Tanks booth for your replies, tooth_dr what I meant was the blocking filter is on a long tub in to focuser how far do I pull tub out of focuser, as soon as we get sun out and no cloud will do as you booth suggest really appreciate your help. peter
