Sorry guys, I think it is time to admit that we just suck at astrophotography. Seeing was pretty sketchy, with light clouds going by, but we had several good opportunities to see both planets in the scope, and we did in fact get some excellent views! However, we couldn't get the Cannon, nor my wife's iPhone to get a pic of anything. The scope is working great, and as far as I can tell, both cameras, and both camera mounts, are operating perfectly as well, so the problem is almost certainly NOT equipment.
I really don't understand it either, me and the kids used to take pictures of the moon and mars and stuff with exactly the same equipment. I have no idea what we are doing wrong, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears!
