Hmmmm what are you attaching the camera to? And while attached to the telescope or lense can you make out any bright stars via the live view on the camera?

I honestly have never checked an image on the LCD display as i have only ever used it with APT on the laptop. Are you able to check the memory card for an image via your PC or Laptop?

Heres what i get from a Canon 450d at 150 seconds iso 800 guided.... M31 (see attachment) L_0052_ISO800_150s__15C.CR2

some good info on setup here : Also i used APT with mine on my laptop far easier than looking at the LCD screen.

Hi, that doest right at all how long is your exposure and at what iso?

Awesome👍

I didnt think it was to bad,but to be fair i ve only been doing this since August last year so i dont think im the best judge of your data. But i think the Moon is the biggest problem, after stacking it looked really washed out i used PS and LR to get to the image above, im currently messing with Startools i had ago in that but was a struggle still got lots to learn myself.

Awesome image 👍

I too am very new to the hobby i had a quick go blew the stars out a bit 🤣 the data s there tho just needs some work

@kens thanks for chiming in there my knowledge on this is very limited at the mo, also if I'm not mistaken the gpusb shouldn't be wired in to anything I thought it was a plug and play device so to speak male usb one end and ST4 port on the box

My apologies just re-read your first post I was thinking eq3-2 for some reason, gpusb is your interface to connect laptop to autoguide port on the mount I would think for phd2 to do guide corrections. I may well be wrong I'm pretty new to fiddling with mounts myself.
