well it has been an extremely long journey but tonight I achieved two things - focus of the main dslr camera and the focus of the DMK618k. That took me all of about an hour of fiddling - but essential. Now for the heartache - it got real windy - so much so i have chucked it in - even though its clear. Unfortunately the scope doesn't like the wind
. all i basically got was some 30 second shots of no real importance. That aside i have now come to the realisation that i need a real sensitive camera and for that i am open for opinions and suggestions. the dmk cameras i have are not up to the task.
for those interested - i will continue to persevere with the setup, but my limiting factor is the subject of the image needs to have some star nearby to guide with - real close as the field of view is very small with the guide camera. This is a real step up in guiding for me and i am finding it rather challenging
the key i think for me is to get a very sensitive guide camera
