I tried the focusser in almost every position possible from fully in to fully out with a wide variety of spacers, t-rings and combinations of both.

As a sanity check, I put the SBIG back on instead and focussed and aligned a star in the centre and ran phd with my guidecam to guide the mount. This was to keep the star in frame so I could remount the QSI and swap and experiment with various rings.

Still couldn'd see anything, possibly the ccd's on the two cameras are located differently? I even tried aligning on the moon just to check if the QSI was generating a preview image but all I got was a big white out of focus image on the screen instead of a black one!

Cheers
Andy
