Thank you for the guidance Adam, I will learn the basics properly with my eq3 and then decide if I want to upgrade.

One day I will get there if I stick with it , so I hope.

+1 to the other comments. The images are just out of focus. Prep your images on a very distant object in the day, or the moon at night. Or get yourself a Bahtinov mask. They're cheap and you can focus on stars with them at night.



Honestly, you should expect this to happen. I mean it; it's difficult at first but stick with it because the rewards are awesome. This isn't an easy hobby but it's not difficult either. It just can be very technical but the solutions are something you learn once and you move onto the next problem
