Thanks Mike

Let me start again, I accidentally hit return.

I think I found the black dot. I pulled the whole scope apart yesterday before imaging looking for dust. Now I think it's on my Barlow. The black dot prevents me from centering the image in the FOV. I have to hold the image in a clean part of the FOV, so it is not in the posted image.

I do set the resolution to different setting to try it out, but it seems to revert to whatever setting IT thinks it should be on. I am no willing to rule out user error 'cause I'm still struggling with Neximage. It gets little attention because I am struggling harder to keep the image in the FOV. That's not going to change until I get a better mount. I'm pretty sure I use the "Outdoor option" for white balance. I can't make it a bigger image until I have a better mount. I have the Barlow to make it bigger, but I reckon my Nan in a rocking chair could aim the scope more accurately than I am at present.

Don't ever expect too much from me concerning colour, I'm colourblind.

Thanks for the tips though. I better start recording settings (advice from Trev.) so that I can answer future questions which might help my progress.
