Hi Shawn
Thanks – the crested pigeon was very cooperative staying so still. The depth of field was so shallow at 5 metres with the WO 80mm F7 that you can only do “still life”. Moving objects are out!
Cheers
Dennis

What do you think of the live view? Did you use it for focusing ?.

Hi Dave & Barb
Thank you. Yes, I used Live View on the 40D LCD (as opposed on a computer monitor) and it was very useful to be able to enlarge the LCD view in discrete steps from the native x1 to x5 and x10 to assist with focusing. I suspect (and hope!) that this would be very useful on a computer monitor when using a motorised focuser with the 40D attached to the telescope.
Both MLU and Live View require you to change the default “Disable” settings to “Enable” via the Menu function, and lay a few button presses deep.
Live View can then be accessed by pressing the “SET” button and I am looking to see if I can customise a button to allow MLU to be set on or off with a single button press rather than having to dive into the guts of the Menu system.
I miss the Pentax *ist DS focus confirmation beep though.
Cheers
Dennis
