Thanks Jon, I'll try increasing the exposure. What I don't understand is
if my webcam covers only a small part of a large target like the moon, as
can be seen in my image, logically, with the webcam placed dead centre of the moon one would have to increase the magnification enormously
for it to move off the moon, and even more for the moon[or even it's
glow] to be out of the field altogether. On top of that, there is no sign of
the glow when making small movements of the scope in all directions.
I can see the problem with the planets, being so small, although I have
little trouble locating Mars or Saturn without the barlow, using the
reticule EP. I have marked the focus position with the barlow fitted in
daylight.
