I"ve two, one for a Cannon and the other for a Pentax K. Actually I've not taken any images with them. I use them as a remote finder scope. Clear Skies, Kurt...
Hello!! Happy Easter. I am new to this group. I have been doing astrophoto one year and I am using DSI Pro and DSI Color. Please visit my Easterpage:...
I'm looking at a Lumicon Deep Sky Filter for astrophotography. I have a choice of a 1.25" filter for $99 or the Cassegrain Rear Cell for $200. Given the price...
I'm shopping for a viewing/photography flip mirror. I've found some from $80 to over $300. I have an 8" Meade LX200R and DSI Pro. I would appreciate any...
Fantastic photo Wolfgang! That extra Luminance time really helped bring out the brightness & details, eh? Congratulations on a superb photo! Bob McDuell ... ...
That is one of the best I have ever seen. Detail is fantastic. Congratulations. Gives me something to shoot for as to its excellence. JP (In Belize) ... ...
Genki Dessu. I was in Japan for five years during high school while my dad was stationed there. Yokota AB. Recently my skies have been stinking pretty badly....
I guess I should mention the When I was in Japan bit. We moved there the winter of '82 and I headed to CA to start college in the fall of '87. Those were the...
Hello Tony, The difference is the size (obviously..) If your only going to use the DSI or DSI2 the 1.25 filter will be more then enough to illuminate the chip....
I'm going to be using a DSI-C camera attached to a Minolta Maxxum 50/80 mm lens with a Mogg adapter, and auto-guided by my 7" Mak and DSI-Pro for wide FOV...
Hello Bob Go to this site and download CCDCalc, a freeware program which allows you to input your camera/lens/scope details and it will show you the field it...

I know what you mean about the weather. It has been pretty stinky here as well. Winter just doesn't want to give up. Good luck Saturday. JimT ... while my ... ...
Thanks Shevill! I already have CCD Calc, & it's great, but I'm not quite sure how to input the variables it asks for when I'm not using a telescope to image....
Hello Bob, I messed around a bit but found them under sampled. But with Envisage and Drizzle it should be a big improvment over what I had. some links.... M31...
You know the chip size from the technical specs on the camera. The focal length and focal ratio should be specs of the lens you're using. At least that's how...
Focal length for the lens will be 50-80mm and yes, the FOV ~(4.2 degrees X 5.6 degrees for the 50mm FL and DSI-C) will be plenty wide enough for M42, M31, etc....
Hi Bob, You certainly will. the entire M31 can be capture on the DSI chip with a lens at 130mm. At 50mm, the field on the chip is approxametly 4 degrees...
Hello Bob Treat the camera lens as a telescope, so input the focal length the lens is set at say 50 mm and the aperture used e.g. f/2.8. A telescope is just a...
Thanks again, Shevill. Question, how do you arrive at the aperture of f2.8 when using 50mm as the focal length? Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm not too...
Thanks Buddy! I'm looking forward to receiving my adapter. Now if the skies will just cooperate! It's been a month since NW Arkansas skies have been clear! ...
Hello Bob, I wouldn't worry about the f-ratio or aperture. Just select the DSI and input the Focal length. The image size is dependent on the focal length, but...
Hi all, here my last attempt of M82 http://www.dsi-astronomie.de/M82.htm Date: 2007-04-11 Scope/Mount: VC200L 8'' / Atlux unguided Focal length: F6.2 Camera:...
Thanks Kurt! Using CCD Calc, it appears that I'm really going to open up my possibilities for larger DSOs, such as Andromeda Galaxy & the Rosette Nebula....
