Hi Raymo,
I went out last night and tried to image the jewel box. Used the handcontroller to slew to it , centred it through my illuminated finder , switched on the DSLR with live view at x10 , focuser was racked hard in , noticed stars slightly like donuts, racked out a bit ( eighth of a turn or less ) and achieved good focus at x10 , switched DSLR back to normal view and had pin point sharp stars
Clouds came over just after that so could snap some images
When I image the moon on prime focus , the focuser is racked hard in just to achieve focus ( not even half a mm to spare ) obviously if I use my powermates I have to rack out plus I have plenty of focus adjustment
When I view through any eye piece I have to use a 35mm extension adapter to achieve focus
My scope is an f6 by the way
Cheers Martin
