Howdy All,
I've had a DSI Pro for a while now, and have gotten a pretty good amount of use out of it. I've check out Jupiter, the Moon, and other basic things before delving any deeper. Recently I've had some pretty good luck with M13, and have spotted M27, but I'm finding it difficult to really be able to successfully locate DSOs in my FOV for the DSI Pro.
My current gameplan is to use my GOTO function to find the object, find and center it in a standard eyepiece, find and center it with my x2 Barlow, then slide on my camera.
I'm not sure if the weight of the camera is throwing things off here or if I'm just missing something.

Ps. Darks are taken, auto-contrast is on, exposures are set and focused. I can see and get good images of stars, but no STAR DUST or galaxies.
