Showing good potential, but focus is still looking soft. At such high f ratio, hand focusing with bhatinov is not going to cut it.

I would suggest you install focusmax and get a few calibration runs in with this. With Atlas you will only need 3 or 4 runs because of its accuracy. Will take you 15 min max to calibrate focus max and then you wont have to worry about perfect focus from that point on. just slew to mag 4 or 5 star. Press focus and watch it do its thing. When done slew to target you want to image and start imaging. Get latest version from Focusmax yahoo group files section as its more up to date.
