Hi Sara, There can be one or more of lots of reasons why your image is
not as sharp as you would like, ranging from type of camera [still or video], single frame or result of stacking lots of video frames, prime
focus or using the camera's lens up against the scope's eyepiece [afocal
method] or attaching the camera to the scope using the scope's eyepiece,
but without the camera's lens. [ eyepiece projection method]. Which
method did you use. I'm guessing prime focus. There are more reasons, but these will do for now.

Thanks Bruce, single shot with 2x barlow, heavily cropped. Being as I
still can't get consistent tracking, I might try and go in closer tonight
with a 3x barlow. Only processing was a tiny bit of contrast enhancement
in Canon's Zoom Browser X. Downsized for IIS in PS.
