Just got it hooked up to the computer and the close ups are way cool. But I'm trying to get a decent picture of the whole coin. Please any tips or advice. I tried to pull back a bit but it goes out of focus. Looking to get some decent pics....thanks in advance!

I can't imagine it will be able to get a whole coin at once. It's a microscope, meant to focus at extremely short distances.

Just a little more out and I'd get the whole coin but it goes out of focus. Thought I was missing a trick or two.

I have a Celestron 44302 and I can fit a whole image of a silver dollar sized coin.

The minimum magnification of your 44302 is 10x, John1. That of HoosierDaddy's (*great* nick, by the way ) 44306 is 20x. I'm surprised he was able to get focus as far from the Cent as he was.
