PeterCPC Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Looks out of focus to me. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigT82 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Yeah I'd agree, spend more time on focusing before capturing the video. Zoom in to the preview and look at the fine detail whilst adjusting the focuser. Also, as a secondary point, was the scope collimated before use?

Cornelius Varley Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 The images do look a little out of focus. Are they single images or stacked videos ? If you capture using Sharpcap the zoom function is on the top menu bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This only zooms in on the preview screen, nothing else. Have you stacked and sharpened the video you collected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
