It is a tricky little b .

I aligned the mount last night and parked it up and using the herscel wedge centred the sun and synced it up and then goto-ed to venus , checked to make sure the sun was not in the FOV.

Last night when i was imaging luna I marked the focus tube so i was about in focus and there was venus - off to one side in the camera on the screen and then spent a couple of hours trying to get it focused.

That’s a great shot Steve. Not easy at all, even just finding it and focusing must have been a big challenge. Nice!

Thanks Stu.

Finding was not too big a problem with a bit of planning but focus was a mare this afternoon.

 

Some idiot swapped over the motor focuser to another scope a couple of weeks ago ???
