Hi Dennis.

I don't believe that's a problem with the ToUcam, it's more a problem of aligning your finderscope with your ToUcam.

Once you get the object in the FOV of the Toucam (ie: can see it on the laptop screen), then adjust your finderscope alignment so it maches what you see on the laptop.

It's not so much of a big deal for the moon (cause it's so big anyway) but for Saturn etc it's essential to ensure the finderscope crosshairs match the middle of the ToUcam FOV.

Have you read my article?

It discusses this and many other problems
