Thanks guys,
Went out last night for a few hours viewing. Played around with the settings as suggested. Our image of Saturn and Jupiter are a lot clearer then before. Haven't processed any as yet, had to work today. Shall sleep well tonight.
We have a 2" crayford focuser with the 10:1 fine tune, not sure if that's what you refer to as dual focuser. Still learning the language.
Stupid me didn't think to write down what settings I was using for the different shots to use as a guide next time. I put the moon filter in for a couple of shots but yeh don't know which ones .
Yeh we are imaging without the eyepiece. Tried adding the barlow to it also as the link suggested for planets but they just couldn't seem to get picture in the screen of laptop after lining it up with viewfinder.
All in all it's been fun and cold . Here's a shot of the moon behind clouds just before it went out of view using digital camera held up to eyepiece
