I tried both APT and PHD2 and both had the same issue. I've tried multiple guidescopes (50mm and a 80x400mm [which has a focuser]) and have had no luck. I've tried an extension tube which gave the exact same fuzzy screen. I know it has to do with focus, but I just don't understand how using both a focuser and extension tube do not work.

Using the brightness slider does not give any difference. Could it be the ASCOM settings possibly?

I've seen on other forums people using the EXACT same setup with no issues (orion 50mm guidescope + extension tube). When i mimic that, I have no luck whereas they have perfect focus.

So frustrating
