Hi,
I have a D=114mm, F=900 reflecting telescope and a Svony SV105 USB telescope camera. I set up the telescope to view the moon using a 20mm lens and could see the full disc of the full moon through the lens. When I used the camera, I could only see part of the moon disc (it appeared to be zoomed in). I may be missing something very simple being a new user, but what setting do I need to use to lower the magnification of the camera / zoom out. I tried the zoom setting in Sharpcap, but it just seemed to make the screen area smaller rather than making the image smaller. My aim was to take a
photo of the full moon disc.I thought that I might get a full screen image of the whole of the moon Any ideas please? Thanks.
