Hi,
Don't know if you ever had a answer or been successful, set the camera to manual and I believe there should be some indication of under or exposure after you've had a guess at the ISO and shutter speed.

Hi,
Thank you both for the quick reply. Yes my VX10 has focuser inbuilt tube, being about 50mm in length.
I read this as the inbuilt tube must be fully extended, eyepiece fitted to that, then use the focuser to focus.
Having spent 55 years in photography and many lenses later , things are different in this astronomy world!!
Will try when the rain stops, but many thanks to you all.

First time post;
Taken delivery of a new VX10 Dobson Mount with Plossl 25mm eyepiece on Christmas Eve and over the last days have tried to checked collimation,
living on Guernsey it was a road journey and a sea journey for delivery so anything could happen!What ever I do I am unable to bring anything into focus in the eye piece, near or far.
What am I missing, does collimation mean nothing will be in fous or is another attachment required for the eyepiece.

Hi,
Having issues holding the camera parallell in the 2" adapter in the focus tube.
There is only one screw on the ACU25 focuser and even when tightend it sometimes has
movement taking it out of being a solid parallell fit.
I think this is the reason, for instance the top of my photo is sharp, or maybe another day if I removed the camera the
right hand side is but not all over.
Has anyone any thoughts or work arounds!!
