Thanks guys

I think my main problem is I haven't set the eq properly. I have filters as well lunar, red, blue and yellow which screw into the eye pieces also. Makes a difference with the moon I haven't tried on Jupiter yet though. So much to try and so little time
I will have a look at the Barlow and try that trick if possible.
Also I noticed I can unscrew the 1.25 and have an option to mount 2" eyepieces will this help?
Anyways going for a drive tonite and with a guide on polar lining I found here I will try that out to see if the stars stay longer than a F1 race car in the lens
Also any clubs here in adelaide looking for new members or any somone can recommend?
Cheers again
Troy
