Is F30 too much

Hi,

I was trying to image Saturn at F30 (7m) on a Edge HD 9.25 with a TV 3 by barlow and a feathertouch automated focusser.

Try as I may I could not get the feathertouch to autofocus with FocusMax V4 (tried with Hadar and Gcrux). So I resorted to manual focus.

As you can see the image is very soft. Can a Feathertouch autofocus at F30, would this be too much for an EDGE 9.25?

Would I get better or at least crisper results with a batinov mask?

Any replies appreciated.

Cheers
Paul
