When I received mine it was loose and I had read to tighten all the way down to start with, then I had to adjust tilt which helped with stars but the results of all my previews were the same. I do have some material I can use for shims and will try that tonight. Also want to make sure about back focus which I believe is 39.8 mm.  Not looking for perfection by any means that would make you mad for sure.  

Considered a RASA but chose the Edge for the different focal length possibilities

I stretched it in pixinsight

Thanks for the help. I did find one image that was actually saved and converted to jpeg.

Thanks Olly as soon as I can get out again I will handle the image differently

Elp I have v4 and do not use a dew shield currently, I am going to try to rotate the camera to see if that helps with the banding as well.

This was a 10 sec exposure. I tried anywhere from gain 120 to 0, bin 1 and bin 2. It is like I see the optical tube and then a shadow of it below it and then black around the corners. I attached the original image and will take another tonight if it doesnt rain with just a screen shot

hyperstar w / filter drawer 

and I am using a primalucelab esatto 2

I am using an edgehd 8 hyperstar and asi2600mc and my subs look like this. Any ideas?

Dave thanks for the help, I feel stupid now... tonight was good and the difference was the wind was a little harder last night. Not sure but that is my guess

i am using an ioptron cem25p and have a handheld device for the shutter

I was trying it out just a few minutes ago and can focus long way and even as close as 25 feet, so I wonder if maybe it's a setting on the camera? In manual mode and was using bulb and iso 800

It's not even close... so I am curious if I put on the prism and try and use a barlow attached to the camera.

Yes that is correct.

I just have the camera connected to the scope and could not get the stars into focus. Cant get a picture right now. I am using the Canon adapter, Canon camera connected to the back of the scope.

I am new to using the WO RC51 and tried to focus in on Orion and was not able to get close using just the scope and my Canon dlsr, what am I missing here?

Hi

The camera does the screen work in the day time as you would expect?

I've found only really bright stars like Rigel would show on the camera screen so I connect my T3 to an Android phone and use DSLR Controller makes detection and focus so much easier.

Yes it works as expected during the day.

I have a canon 3ti that I have modified. I am new to using a moded camera but cannot seem to find any stars on the display screen, my settings are WB set to daylight and the iso varies. Currently not connected to a scope so just using a tripod for now but all I get is a blank screen and it does not matter what lense I have on it. Any help or advice is appreciated.
