I had a look at your exif info and had a quick play with the vignetted photo in Photoshop. If you Unsharp Mask the image aggressively it shows that there is some sharpness there (see attached). The time of day and the distance is not helping the detail.  Digiscoping is best done in the first and last 3 hours of the day when the sun's angle is lower in the sky.  Also try Aperture Priority as the lens should be wide open (f1.7) to minimise vignetting. Also drop the iso down to 400 to reduce noise. It is hard to beat a 30x eyepiece for digiscoping.If you have time could you drop me a full sized Raw image at <a href="mailto:neilf031@gmail.com">neilf031@gmail.com</a> to play with.Hope this helps,Neil.</blockquote>
