OK
Now i'm officially depressed!
All the planetary images I've captured and processed using an 8"f5 newt and a 9.25 f10 SCT look "soft" in regard to focus.
I've performed all the usual tests (sight tube/cheshire, star tests etc) and still my images fail to reveal crisp detail.
Could it just be the seeing/transparency or are both scopes out of collimation?
Keep in mind I've only ever imaged during the warmer months and have yet to capture during those "special" pre-dawn hours.
