Thanks for the swift feedback it is greatly appreciated.
I tried again tonight, conditions were not good but I thought it would be good to practice technique or identify any hard equipment bugs in my set up. I had some great views through the eyepiece set I have.
I did get the image of Saturn to appear on the third fit and refit of the camera, although not a good one due to poor focusing, and the slight hazey clouds. I attach the file which isn't pretty to you guys but its a first for me...........
There may also be information you can see that I can't like hot pixels etc. again apols for the focus. I assume when the CCD overheats the live view detects it and lets you know, is this true?
Also, when I moved to a clearer piece of sky around the Orion Nebula I was back to black screen again. Its as if I have an intermittent connection to the PC, there are no fuzzy light spots over the whole focus travel except on the one time I caught Saturn.
cheers Steve
