I have a Bahtinov mask, but I am imaging just before dawn so there are no stars to focus on. I dont know what the "jiffy" mode is! I think most of my problems are related to the seeing and the jet stream.I also have to recheck collimation on the scope.I rarely get better than 3/5 seeing and I am imaging over my porch roof which causes some extra turbulence.Hoepfully as JUpitet gets higher in the sky I will get clearer images.I am also manually focusing. I am waiting for the optec secondary mirror focuser to come on the market.
Can you explain the "jiffy" mode of focusing
