Hi Trevor

I tend not to worry too much with the magic eye focuser.

My method is to use a Bhartinov mask with Envisage and focus in on a 2 or 3 mag star. Setting the exposure rate at 1 or 2 seconds will produce nice spikes for focussing.

I have found Envisage to be an effective imaging tool but prefer to use Maxim for processing and Star Atlas Pro for guiding.

Cheers
