I just noticed that you asked what my ASA setting was in an earlier post. sorry I overlooked that ... but I seem to recall it is set (automatically) to 200. Which is probably not really suitable for this low light work! I will try cranking it up to 800 (or more if possible) and see what the results are. thanks for asking the question!
And yes, next time the sky is cloud free I will give the planets a shot. Can't wait!
