Hi Marc and thanks you, im more than happy with the results all things considered. Its was taken with a canon 550d with a newton 8 @ f/5 mounted neq6 pro. No guiding...just manual movements with live view on the pc from time to time, to recenter.

I have been shining a light in the viewfinder of the canon to see the sensor and there is a heap of movement there on the primary. So im thinking that the standard Bintel Crayford Focuser 10:1 maybe not so good nor meant for imaging in the first place...I maybe wrong. But there is alot of slop when tightening the locking screw.
