Thanks mate yeah it's hard with a dob... but also fun. With the planets up higher now than they were, they seemed to be drifting in a different direction. It took me a while to figure that out. A trick I learnt is to watch the planet in the finder scope for a while to see which way it's going, then set up just in front and hopefully it appears in the right spot on the camera screen. Doesn't always work, sometimes you miss it or just catch a bit of it, but you just keep trying till you get some good ones.
