Message: <blockquote data-quote="spuggyhawk" data-source="post: 1861224" data-attributes="member: 84997">I agrre Gene conditions have a negative efect at times but i now think my problems are stability, user error (me) and i still seem to have this focusing problem where although the subject is in focus though the  camera and scope the resulting pictures are still out of focus.I read (on here i think) that some people find they have to focus and then move the focusing point of the scope a couple of notches behind the subject, i have had a few attempts at this but not to in depth.I intend to look at these problems a bit closes ASAP, I think i'll have my scope/camera supported on/in bean bags to give good stability and remove/reduce vibration this way and take a series of pic's of a static subject and altering the focus of the scope in increments both fore and aft of the sharp point showing on the set up....hope that makes sense.The problem with this i think is that if i do these tests at say 25yards and get a conclusion to where the focus point really is on my set up at 25yards  then the amount of adjustment would alter with a larger or shorter distance...making this a very inacurate method to use in a none controlled enviroment... Maybe someone could confirm or not that my thinking is right on this point.I love my P6000 as a camera and as you say Gene a good camera for this job (it was recomended to me) so i would like to work around the problems with this to enable me to keep it.I'm sure there are upgrades both camera and scope wise for me but unfortunatly i have fairly deep pockets..<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Jon</blockquote>
