Focus looks like it was OK to me on your Mars and Jup. What aperture is your scope?

Hi Andy my scope is a 10" SkyWatcher Black Diamond reflector on a HEQ5. Considering its my first Venus I actually like the effect haha but always have to try to improve. Had problems finding Mars in my 3x Barlow with the camera. Id get mars in centre with my eyepiece, pull that out and stick the camera in. Got it fine with no Barlow but just couldnt find it when the Barlow was attached. Jupiter and Venus I found no problems with it
