Could you document your camera type, your general astro setup and capture process ?

I can see where it could be vastly improved. Reminds me of some of my very first imaging.

You have a serious problem with focusing. Focusing used to be the bane of my existence with Astro imaging. Mine was very hit and miss, miss, miss….

I finally built a electronic focuser, but it required me to run it with a program and was not auto. I finally tried a ZWO EAF, but mine had a serious problem and ZWO finally replaced it. But I didn’t wait around while they ping-ponged it. I got my Pegasus Astro Focuser2 and moved on. The EAF, when replaced, now lives on my old ED80T CF the grandkids use. They love it with the hand controller to run it for visual.

It’s tough starting out. But keep at it and you’ll get there.
