[QUOTE="Jonathan, post: 209379, member: 17183"] I've only managed to take photos of the moon (which moves incredibly fast!). I haven't yet been able to explore even a fraction of what this kit can all do so haven't done any tracking (again, pretty much cloudy nights since I bought it, and the clear nights spent getting it all to work, aligning, upgrading firmware ....). As to focus, use the scope to do that. The camera is nothing more than a sophisticated photocopier when attached. I put it on Manual and play around with ISO (around 400 seems okay). I don't get great shots so I'll be trying other manual choices, such as Aperture. Grateful for others thoughts about using the D3100 like this. [/QUOTE]
