Any tips on how you were able to do this?
You probably need a 2x Barlow to image the planets with your 183MC to get you to f14, now's the best time to image them!

Thanks, I posted this on another thread
i have found that it can take several minutes, even up to 30min to get sharp focus, i normally zoom in on the edge and craters, and zoom as close in as possible then try and focus to resolve the smaller features. i have taken to doing a region of interest and getting the fastest frame rate as possible to zoom in on and focus. once i have that then going full frame the hard part is done. the other is the moon moves even though we select lunar rate. i actually manually guide on a crater for the length of time needed to get 2 or 3 thousand frames. Anyway just my experience for how i fill in my time...
