Anyone on here got any ideas why my images are coming out like this now?? Been using the cameras for a while now and all of a sudden got this, its an Orion starshoot G3 colour CCD......ive not changed anything im doing, but this is whats happening. There may have been condensation on the surface of the CCD chip???? Ive brought it in the house overnight, to see if it dries, but I don't know if that's the problem or not as ive gota wait for clear skys again to conferm.............any ideas in the meantime??? Images show in and out of focus, mainly showing red, when colour converted.....

It might help if you could give more detail about telescope used etc. Is there a lot of light pollution?

The images are perfect before, so its not light pollution ect......its an obvious defect with the camera???

Have you tried imaging with another camera such as DSLR to rule out any other possibilities?
