Hi Carl,
Yes, the focus could well be an issue - I focused as well as I could on a nearby bright star but there was no way the nebula was going to come up on the liveview screen or the live view on Backyard EOS, which was what I was using. I suspect some of the lack of detail was from my manual stacking.
I'm puzzled by your comment about the colour, though. The Ghost, like many planetary nebs, is known for its bright blue, which came through the UHC filter just fine.
