Thanks for the other advice, I set the lens at infinity and didn't think of using the live view, will try that
Captured The Toby Jug Nebula; eh? That could only be by good old beginners luck.

Russel,
Tried the 5% with zero stars detected, I need to get the focus better as you said

Bob,
You suggest F4 so I will try that too

All trial and error while I get my feet on the learning curve

Thanks Guys
let us know how you get on - i would pump up the iso to 3200. 800 is too low for a camera that isn't tracking.
