Hello all. I'm getting started with wide-field piggybacking with a first-generation Orion StarShoot color with old Pentax 35mm lens attached. I'd like to discuss methods with anyone experienced with this kind of setup, especially the StarShoot -- I'm having a hard time finding a starting point with focusing!

I found focus for a similar system during the day inside my house. It made it much easier to figure out which way I needed to go with extension tubes to get within range of the focus ring on the lens. See if that helps.
