Really nice shot Rob, and it's obvious you spent a lot of time of focus.

I spend allot of time on it before I start capturing an image. It is not uncommon for me to spend and hour on focusing before I'm happy, in some cases even longer. It's a long and tedious task that will have you pulling your hair out but it is well worth it, and I cant say enough about it. Also you need to walk away from the monitor your focusing the image on to rest your eyes. You might find what looked good then looks crappy when you get back to it

How do you achieve best focus? Do you use a hartman mask? Do you focus on a star, or on the planet itself?
Do you just go backwards and forwards through the focal plane until it shows the crispest detail during good seeing?
What type of focuser do you have?
