thanks dunk!
I just thought I'd try with Neptune because of it's altitude .. and my north is very light polluted with surfers in the way. I'll take all these tips on board. seems I'm the one doing something wrong or not quite in the location I should be, but I'm sure I am.
I'll keep the 6mm in the focuser (291x) or the 9mm (194x)but I hate the eye releif with it))
I didn't know I had to use high power to differentiate between a star and Neptune so I will when o get out next and let yas know.
thanks for the tips and advice
