DBK 41 reluctant to focus
Good morning everyone,
I would like to pick the forum's brain about a particular problem I encountered this morning.
I was attempting to image mars using;
ED100
DBK 41 Webcam
with and without Powermates
I have success using this method previously imaging Mars, however i was using a 1000d with movie record software.
So this has lead to me believing I'm doing something wrong with the webcam itself, I used a lot of different settings but still no detail could be wrangled out of Mars....
I had the collar both attached and removed from the DBK 41, this caused no difference,
I had attempted to use a bartinov mask to achieve focus.... and to be honest this didn't help at all.
It really seems that the DBK 41 just does not want to focus...
I am using a motor driven focuser which is capable of extremely fine adjustments so its not like I'm skipping past that elusive focus point.
Any experience / suggestions to ease my frustration would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Trent
