Hi everyone this is just an FYI for you who may be interested. Registration for the 2007 NorthEast Astro-Imaging Conference is now open! For your registration...
Hey Wolfgang, It's amazing what you are doing unguided with 30 seconds! A total exposure time of 35 minutes, right? It gives me higher expectations for myself....
Has anyone used a Meade 3.3 focal reducer in line with a ATIK filter wheel on a DSI Pro II? I seem to get vignetting when I try it in this configuration....
Yes, I have used it. You will have to use just the adapter itself with neither of the extensions (15mm & 30mm) so that the filter wheel is right up against the...
Hi Steve, thanks 35min for the final image that's right. But in reality it was ~30% more because i can't use every image only the best ones. But this time i...
I have had the DSI for some time now, I got a new computer and loaded the autostat program and went to the 4m group and updated it. I pluged in my DSI and said...
Thanks Buddy! This is one configuration that I hadn't tried. I'll give it a try tonight. Merrel ... with neither of the extensions (15mm & 30mm) so that the...
Hey Steve, IIRC when you install the software you have to manually direct it to find the win2k drivers for the DSI as it doesn't find it in an automatic search...
Hello all. For those of you that are properly calibrating your images (i.e. flat fielding, etc.), I am just curious to see if anyone can send me a .fit file of...
http://tinyurl.com/2axlat Please see above web site for my first attempt at NGC 2024, the Flame Nebula. The lighter area at the left is from the very bright...
Hi Bob, I'm not sure about PS7, but in PS CS2, I use Levels to pull the histograms together. Image / Adjustments / Levels I used the midpoint slider to move...
http://tinyurl.com/37pk4d Here's a third version of the Flame Nebula after applying Don Waid's lesson on Hi-Pass filtering to the Luminance channel, & making...
Kel: Thanks for responding. I used Levels per your suggestion, and can see the placement left to right of each color's histogram, but cannot see how to move...
Hi Bob, I grab one of the three little triangles under the histogram, but that's CS2 so not sure about PS7. The numbers above the histogram should make the...
I'm just starting off using my DSI 1 colour and have a problem with the USB A to B cable. It's not really long enough and it's a bit too rigid for my liking....
Hi Michael, Any standard 16-ft USB (A to B) cable will work. This is where I get most of my cables. I extend 48-ft with one 16-ft USB and two 16-ft active...
The February 2007 issue of AstroPhoto Insight is now available. This issue includes the following articles: * Color Management (Part 2) by R. Scott Ireland *...
Hey Kel: Thanks very much for your detailed explanation. I appreciate the time you've taken to answer my question. PS7 does seem to have the same Levels...
Umm, Bob, no need to upload the final... your Flame image is today's Astronomy Magazine Picture of the Day. Wow! Congratulations! Kel ... time you've ... ...
Can anyone sort me out here? I am using a DSI II with a Celestron NexStar 8 GPS. Just starting out. I have got some nice pictures of the moon, but the rest is...
Make sure you've got two fairly bright sources boxed when you start taking exposures. You're using your scope in alt-az I am assuming since you don't mention...
Hi All, We would like to announce the 1st Midwest Astroimaging Conference on July 13 and 14, 2007 running concurrently with the EPOC 2007 Star Party. The...
Thanks Kel. Jeremy at the magazine told me that it would appear today, but for some strange, my browser (Explorer) doesn't show it, but Comet McNaught ...
I've revised (& improved, I hope) on my first image processing of the Flame Nebula. In PS7 "Levels", I equalized the R, G, & B so that it's now more true to...
Hi all, I am a new member from North Cyprus, trying to do photometry with ETX125 and DSI Pro II. I want to understand some basic concepts about Autostar IP. If...
I've just started tinkering with my new Meade DSI PRO Monochrome and Meade CCD Color Filter Set. I have a new 8" Meade LX200R to go with it. (Boy, did my...
Greetings Toni. The clear filter is the IR blocking filter. That should go in the nose piece. None of the other filters block IR and this camera and most...
Hi Toni, Welcome to the wonderful world of DSI imaging! I would advocate getting to know the various features of your set up by mono imaging of the Moon and...
