Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply, and you are absolutely right. I think I was just stuck in the mode of keeping going with the purchasing, hoping it would just magically happen. My setup, right now, is not too bad. I got out last night and managed to take some shots of the moon, M42 etc. The EOS was fine for the moon shots, but struggled with any other deep sky type objects. I guess some more experimentation will help, and some stacking. Definitely no longer than about 20 seconds per shot though.

The ASI462MC, well I managed to get it focused, and had enough time before clouds to get one shot of M42, which showed the trapezium. Need to play with the settings though, as the single shot seemed quite bright. But there is hope there! BTW, focusing is tough! The camera focus, and the ASI focus points seem to be wildly different. Need something electronic really, so I can return to set focus points.

I used ASIStudio for the capture, is that what you use with your ASI gear?
