Hi Kosh, I have been imaging for a few months now with a DSLR. I currently use the LCD on my DSLR to focus using live view. Sometimes it is a bit hard to find a decent star to use to focus. I zoom into the star to maximum using liveview and then tweak my scopes focus knob while watching the screen. I go back and forward until I get the star as small as possible. Then lock off your focus tube and move to your target.
When I start to image I take a frame at high ISO to check composition and also to check focus. Make sure you go to 100% in whatever viewer you are using so you can look at the stars up close.
Guys that are better setup use motorised focussers driven by automatic software routines etc but as a newbie I have been getting sharp images by doing what I outlined above with my DSLR so it can be done.
Cheers
Brett
