M40 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Great news in that you got focused using the 533 so at least you know the camera works fine. Can I suggest on your next step using the main telescope, you remove the filter drawer and CC and just bolt the camera into place. Try and get focus and see what happens. Try it in preview mode taking single shots on low gain and short duration. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroGeorge84 Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 Great news folks. Sorry taken a while to update but had the scope out last week and pleased to say it’s all working great. During that afternoon I had the scope upstairs (in my dogs room) where I can see the Forth Bridge (just outside Edinburgh) so I managed to achieve focus on that. During the evening everything just seemed to work really well, auto focuser did its thing, then polar alignment was great. Just before clouds spoiled my fun the scope went to M81 and managed go get one image of it as it was clouding over. So im super pleased and cannot wait to get back out with it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
