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.

Cheers

Sorry Dennis, missed getting back to this thread.

Thanks for the info on the 40D.

Looks like a new camera may be on a future shopping list, so will also be interested in your deep sky shots when skies permit.

Love your pics you have taken.
