There should be enough backfocus with the helical focuser??
Hi Ken

Back focus is not the problem it appears as though it needs to get in closer.

As I pull the focuser I loose any kind of focus, but as I push it inwards it becomes more cleaner/sharper but not enough before I run out of both inward movement and fine focus.

Any further thoughts?

Like I said in a previous post am I expecting to see too much on my original image whilst capture? Or is there no real detail visible at all whilst capturing? When I used the Meade Electronic EP there was plenty of detail visible on the screen whilst capturing.

Cheers

Gav
