Here's my take of Comet Holmes form last night, taken with my 7" Mak, approx 12 frames total. I believe you can see a faint wisp of a tail developing in the...

I use a new Toshiba Satelite P-105 and every once in a while I have the same message. Funny, but it always seems to happen when there is a of of light,...
Very nice image, Bob - I believe you are right about the tail developing - I'm sure I can see it, between the two bright areas. You mention you took 12 frames...
Hi All, I am wondering whether any folks have heard of, or managed to get the Meade DSI working under linux? My friend and I are currently working on a system...
Hi Richie, Sorry can't help with any clues but would be interested to hear how you get on - I'm trying to use Gentoo for some of my applications and this...
If you click off the autocontrast and play with the whitepoint and dark point sliders, bring down the exposure time to just above where some picture noise...
Hi Michael, thanks for those tips - I'm still on a steep learning curve it seems, but enjoying it! Will have another go tonight - although a bit windy here the...
Good Luck Nigel! I know I'm still learning! DSI is better suited for Deep Sky stuff, but I was determined to figure out how to get better planetary type...
This is second hand information, so take it for what it's worth. The USB controller in the DSI is of a design, that the driver on the computer has to upload...

this my first of probabally many questions in this new aspect of my hobby, since getting my new dsi mono i discovered the importance of a wedge with the...
You are correct for rough polar alignment. If someone is at 37 degrees but has his wedge set at 42 degrees it is probably because the incriment scale on his...
Make sure you are measuring the correct angle. The angle that should match your latitude is the angle between your leveled tripod base and the optical tube...
Bill: I think you mean perpendicular rather than parallel. If the scope was parallel with the forks it would be pointing straight up from a level to the...
I mean with a fork mounted telescope in the polar "home position", your optical tube should pointed in the same direction as a line drawn from the point where...
