spend that money on some binos my mate had one of these and he took it back and got a set of decent binos for 80 pound and a cheap tripod freom argos for 12 pound but if thats what ya want then go for it but you may end up with some thing else i would steer clear od supermarket scopes ,saying that if you really want it and it doesw not work out for you am sure you could take it back in a couple a days and get ya money back and welcome to the forum from me

hi all focus is the thing i would say,if any thing take 5 shots and get the on pc/;aptop and check the pics some times mine look in focus take 100 pics and they all of .am sure in the end it will all work out for you

11 MAY took a few pics last night ,did not notice the lpf filter was covered with dew ruined to many pics maybe got 25 out of 300 lol what a pain heres the link about 20 more pics to look at v http://s473.photobucket.com/albums/rr93/todd8137/11%20may/ just a small one here v

hi all last night i took a few pics a do not think you have a iso or time issue it looks more like a focusone,once your ready to start camera also needs time to cool down filters ect.take a pic and then have a look zoom in and check every thing is ok if not refocus i have a crawford focuser and it helps whislst get in focus ,the 90mm goto is the same,once best focus as been acheived in raw format then have a play it looks good the one ya did but i would think that 100d is cappable of some clear sharp pics trail and error

May 10th Hi all well the night started great clear skies, and my first night out in a couple of days , well gave it 45 mins all kit out side ready to go .got out there and the cloud an wind wa blowing at around 13 mph a thought a will take a quick couple and get in ,no such luck at all the wind with the dew shield in place was really grab in the tube focus was a issue with the turberlence and the boiling moon video was out the window tried for about 30 mins and gave up a did want to try a few shots with the 2"sky watcher lpf ,it did nothing for me with a 2" ep but it worked well with the camera atached the wind got the better of things and was bow in from the north east ,it wa not all bad the moon was dropping away to the west and the cloud robbed me of any thing else but its that ,that draws me out side every time i still never tire of the smallest thing to the biggest heres the link to photobucket if you wish to see these eforts cheers now pat clear skies always http://s473.photobucket.com/albums/rr93/todd8137/10th%20May/

try a free programe called photoscape its a great easy to use programe and its ok i us corel prox3 as pshop is ok but as a lot of stuf you do not need great shot as well have you tried ataching the camera you have to the scope?
