What are you doing wrong Ken? You're pier mounted aren't you?
Those images I recently posted on/in 'the Als reticule' thread are 100% honest. From power up without any alignment at all, Jupiter is quite close, might even fall on a webcam chip; certainly close enough for any chip larger. I confident after a star alignment (with grease freed up) Jup would go pretty darn close to center.
I've never tried the Sun though; figured for safety reasons it would be placed in a no go zone.
cheers,
Doug

When I want to look at Planets, or image the sun, I enter an object right next to the Planet/Sun (an NGC etc) and then slew that little bit extra to get to the Planet/Sun.
