I'll try again as soon as we get an even SLIGHTLY clear night... that may be winter next year at this rate.
Do you have the OAG prism far enough into the light path and properly
focused - you may need to add or remove extentions as well . The orion
should be able to pick up brighter stars but a Lodestar would be much better
and trying to use a dlsr is not worth the effort if it works at all imho.
