Thank you for the reply. The tower I initially used was in the far distance and in bright sunlight I guess maybe 4 or 5 mikes away? I do have another tower much closer which I could try.
Regarding the wobble, I can use ‘live view’ and a cable release so that shouldn’t be too much of an issue I guess.
I think my main concern, and disappointment, is the apparent inability to get a nice clean and sharp image. It could be the ‘cheap?’ Barlow lens that came bundled with the ‘scope? Although I’m a bit concerned at throwing even more money at this without a fairly high chance that it will improve things.
