I have an old cheap scope that has an optical finder and now that I have the red dot I love it the red dot seems so much more accurate... to me anyway.
I can take photos of the moon through the scope using the 2X barlow/camera adapter, but I cannot seem to get the planets properly focused.
When I look through the scope I can see a clear crisp white disc surrounded by the rings for saturn and faint, very faint bands on Jupiter, but when i put the camera on I cannot seem to get the same views, I focus right through the focus point, but cannot get it the same especially in the live view mode.
I have a few photos of Saturn through the scope but the are very faint and fuzzy.
