Hi, my wife is using a ZWO ASI120MC on a Celestron 5SE through sharpcap. After a lot of trial and error we now have it focused with the gain and other settings apparently about right.

She has a problem with the moon filling up too much of the frame however so she can only see or photograph a portion of it. It’s like it’s zoomed in on it?

Is there any way to zoom out through sharpcap or other software or is it the nature of the scope and camera? Would a focal reducer do it?

A reducer would help a bit, but the 120mc has a very small chip. Other than take mosaics, there's no way you can fit it all in at once with a 5SE.
