Hey...NP. Most people do not realize that it is a separate web page. We set it up that way because us/everyone has more control over the content than the Yahoo...
Oh man...I was hoping you had an NGC7331 shot considering they are so close and NGC7331 is so spectacular. Beautiful work on the dust lanes. Great composition...
OK, apart from the Toucam Album, I have also started my DSI album. The 1st entry isn't as good as my Toucam Images, but it is only my 1st attempt with the DSI....
Believe it or not Ken. I have been here almost since about the time the DSI group began, and I have to say that people would have been drooling over that shot....
I was getting some frozen peaches from the freezer when it occurred to me that a new, clean, frozen food container would be a good storage container for my...
Hi eveyone I'm new to the list. I have been reading past posts and have found a lot of solutions here. I bought a DSI pro II monochrome camera and I'm...
Does anyone know the size of the sensor (chip) in the first Meade DSI? I can find the number of pixels and pixel size, but I need to know the size of the...
Hi Robert, according to the box my first (the original version) DSI Pro came in, it has 510 x 492 pixels (250,920 total) and each pixel is 9.6 micron wide x...
Nigel, Is it really possible to do the math? Or is there spacing between the pixels and therefore the chip is slightly larger? Robert ... [Non-text portions...
Hi Robert, you could look up production details for these CCDs but it would be quite useless if the space between cells was more than 1% of the CCD size. After...
Hi Robert, I am assuming they are VERY close together - maybe a wrong assumption? If they are touching, and the chip is 510 pixels wide, and each pixel is 9.6...
Hi Robert here are the specs. The CCD used is the Sony IXC254AL. The image area size as given by Sony is a 6mm diagonal (type 1/3 size CCD). The horizontal by...
Thanks Mike. Recently, I discovered that the scope had quite a bit of delay in switching directions (from N to S), so I did the backlash thing and now have...
I built up a library of dark frames using my air conditioner and refrigerator. Put the cap on the camera, placed the camera in a ziplock bag and taped it...
I'm just starting out taking CCD images with the DSI II and a Meade 8" LX200R and attached is my first glob image - not very good. This was just my first...
I always take darks before, then in the middle and at the end of my sessions along with flats,bias,blah blah etc. That helps me have the correct "stuff" to...
I have a library from -4c to +34c and 1 sec to 10 minutes. I took them at different temps using the air conditioner, refrigerator and freezer to achieve the...
Hi Kurt, Hmm, where to start. 1st, the photo is not focused well, you need to focus on a star more carefully next time. This is also possibly movement from...
Don't worry :) My first CCD images were FAR worse (modified quickcam). My first imaging sessions were also on my deck. While convenient, even the slightest...
Thanks Gary, I think the dark spots are dust on the CCD chip, also I was using a 2.5x barlow and relalized I should not so the higher magnification compounded...
