That'll be a rocket fuel-cell re-entry after unsuccessfully trying to launch your offerings to St. Bin into space. Even space junk rejected it.

St Bin has passed by this way today, but I have decided to spread the risk a bit and worship a new idol, in the form of a robust bag now filled with assorted rubble, shite and stuff from the attic. It shall be collected later this day by the Beelzebin, the Anti-Bin, riding atop a mighty van, with a crane.

You say that, but using a telescope and putting your phone camera up to the eyepiece is one of the easiest ways of getting a good photo out of a telescope!

I know but even with a decent telescope and SLR camera attachment I have never got one like that - this years resolution is to learn to take astrophotography I have the gear so need to use it

Can you get focus sorted with the DSLR? That's the first setup thing after which you can then start stacking. What kit do you have?

Camera is a Canon 6D and scope is a Celestron Nexstar 8SE.

Read about stacking but need to do more research

I think I might have found a new best friend on this subject, you might start to receive silly questions from a numpty
