This may be a dumb question but if I use a DSI color to guide and a DSI Pro II color to image can I get away with using my 10" LX200 GPS in ALT-AZ mode or do...
I just posted an image of M42. Can anyone tell me why the bright stars are shaped like footballs? DSI Pro with .5 focal reducer (Antares). The rest of the star...
Hi Sandy, Yes, this is a form of blooming. It is inherent in the original series DSI and DSI Pro. It happens with the brighter stars. the longer the exposure,...
It'll should guide fine in either mode, but you'll be limited to 30 sec or less exposures in Alt/Az. With a wedge you can take longer exposures. Clear Skies,...
Hey Guys, I have a DSI Pro II for my main imager on my 5" F 5.0 Newt piggybacked on the 14.5" F 5.59 Newt all mounted on my large GEM. I also have a DSI Pro I ...
... Envisage will guide fine in Alt-Az mode, at least for a while. With an LX200 Classic in Alt-Az mode using a DSI Pro II, I can guide for a few hours until...
Hi Steve, It definately sounds to me like a cable issue. I do not believe that it is XP. Every time I have trouble like you have described, it is the...

Are you using powered ports, or hubs? Bob M ... From: Deep-Sky-Imager@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Deep-Sky-Imager@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of Stephen C. Mitchell,...
Hey Bob, Yup, a 110v powered hub with 4 ports in it. When I had only the one camera (Pro II) hooked up to it, it worked just fine, but since I added the second...

That's a good question Bob, the cable in question is the one that came in the package with the DSI Pro I, but it doesn't look one bit different from any other...
Hi Steve: Colour of the cable's jacket won't signify anything unless a particular manufacturer says their cable jacket colours mean something regarding their...
Hey Leonard, Thanks for the info about USB cables, I'll check out your link too. My real question was, is there anyway to visually tell the difference between ...
Hi Steve: Sorry, I misunderstood your question. Here's an industry standards USB site which might have info on that.... http://www.usb.org/home . I see they...
Hello all and a happy new year! I got a DSI pro in late summer but due to work, I've only had 3 sessions out with it so far! I've posted 3 of the better...
