Hi Joe, Are you using FocusMax with your RoboFocus? If so, you may want to consider the FMaxUG on yahoogroups. The authors of FocusMax post updated versions of FocusMax there. They are also great at answering questions. If you are using Windows 7 it's very likely that you will want to use the new version. Clear skies, Dale.

Thanks, Troy! I had a lot of trouble last night -- apparent turbulence in the upper atmosphere, inadequate focusing, poor telescope balancing. It doesn't pay to skimp on any step. I still haven't been able to make my RoboFocus autofocus. Best wishes, Joe

Looks awesome Joe. That's still leaps and bounds better than what I could do.

Hi Friends, Here's one I took this morning at Lakeside, the Cat's Eye Nebula. It's not much of a pic but the subject is interesting. Thanks for taking a look, Joe
