Try going into the custom settings and choose 'mirror lock up'. Use this in combination with the 2 second or 10 second timer. I use the 2 second timer and find that is sufficient. When the remote shutter is pressed the camera will flip up the mirror and then wait 2 or 10 seconds before the picture is taken and this allows any vibrations to stop.

Does using live view on a 450D disable the mirror? Got a feeling it might and if so could solve the problem

Even though you disable the mirror there is still the focal plain shutter that may cause vibration in a slr. Gene

You would need to be shooting extremely slow, like getting down to 1/5 second or less exposures before that was an issue and maybe have a tripod made of three twigs . Locking up the mirror will solve vibration issues as long as wind or something else isn't causing them.

Huntso, live view locks up the mirror but the lcd screen doesn't always show a correctly exposed image, especially in manual mode the lcd will be very dark unless your adapter has electrical contacts.

Thanks for clarifying my somewhat vague info Paul, didn't realise that as i'm not into Digiscoping and wasn't even entirely sure about the live view (never used it on my 40D) and mirror up

Cheers
