Opinions: 1. use a good tripod especially one made of carbon. They are very sturdy. 2. When shooting videos, always try to "center" the "main object". 3. Videos look out-of-focus (point to note is that I also have the same reflector telescope and they appear much sharper even after using a 1.4x teleconverter.) 4. I think you missed this hard- when shooting illuminated objects, decrease ISO to 100-200 (for moon) and 400 (for jupiter). Otherwise they will appear like glowing bulbs in a noisy sky.
@neo4evrr Thanks for the info. in the 2 years since this was made i think i have managed to figure it out now :). Still saving for a tracking mount to hopefully get some better images. got new eyepieces and things and had a lot more practice hopefully soon i will get round to uploading a new vid. Good to know peeps are still finding it and again thanks for the tips.
just saw jupiter for my first time tonight with a small 50mm telescope, it was the most amazing thing i have ever seen, though it was very small i could see two cloud belts, and 4 moons
