Took me a few hours to get it operational. But I don't think that was the adapter as I couldn't focus manually either. I did two things just before it all started working so not sure if one or the other, or maybe even both did it. I attached the lens to my dslr and focussed on the moon and then removed the lens and put it on the adapter and then I played with the usb to make sure it was properly connected. Bingo it all worked including flawless autofocus V curves in SGP. I'm hoping tonight is clear again so I can have another go with it. I might even stay at f2.8 for now, without pixel peeping I can't actually see the coma.
I just combined a previous 4 panel mosaic I took with my DSLR and WO Star 71 with the QHY image. If I had completed the full 6 panels planned and had framed the LMC better with the QHY it would have spanned the entire galaxy and looked awesome.
