Hello All! I'm using a CGE-1400, and I am guiding with an Orion ED-100 and a Meade DSI, using Maxim DL. I took 15 second dark frames and I took bias frames at...
Here's a quick shot of M8, Lagoon Nebula, taken last night using my 7" Mak, DSI-C camera & Meade's nebula filter. Taken at the end of another session of the...
Hey there Bob, For 6/85sec shots, that's an excellent capture. Definitely a good start on a more in depth pic. Top Job!!! Cheers, Tim. www.myastrospace.com ......
Another round of imaging M8, Lagoon Nebula, but this time added a nebula filter and a 15mm spacer in addtion to Meade's T-Adapter for a wider FOV. 48 total...
Thanks Tim! I took another image of M8 last night, but a wider FOV by adding a 15mm spacer after the T-Adapter, and this time 48 frames at 85 sec. Came out...
Chris: After upgrading my Envisage software to ver 7.05, I noticed that the dash numbers assigned are now 4 digits, or -0001, -0002, etc. Previous versions ...

I have a celestron c8 on a GEM mount with the DSI III and was wondering what the groups thoughts were for a guide scope. my focal length is 2000 on the c8. ...
For dual use, autoguide/imaging, I highly suggest an Orion 80ED. If you don't want to spend that much then buy an Orion ST80 for guiding only. In either case...
thank you very much also, do you agree with the rule that says the focal length of the guide scope is atleast 1/2 that of the main scope?? ... From: John...

After applying more "Curves" and Hi-Pass filtering in PS 7, I was able to bring out more nebulosity and dust in my M8 image, taken a couple of nights ago....
Hi guys, I wanted to say hello. I've used a DSI for autoguiding with my friend Craig Stark's PHD Guide. I've not imaged with one, but they are a great starter...
to get the DSI III to recognize the mount so i can use the drizzle tool, do i plug the cord into the hand controller or the AUX port on the front of the mount....
i am looking at the Optec - NextGEN WideField 0.5X Telecompressor Lens for a focal reducer fro my Celestron C8 does anyone have a better thought for a great...
We created a 4-DVD set of 4 sessions (out of the 17 sessions) from the Midwest Astro-Imaging Conference this past June. The DVDs were made available to...

I would like do some real time loop integration of images taken with my DSI. real time loop integration = taking a set number of images (e.g 20 frames),...
Hey Michael, Check out Envisage, even the old version did just sort of thing I believe. I'm not in front of my computer with Envisage on it right now, so going...
... Use the simple autodark. Even though the picture looks bad, Maxim handles the noise very well! It is just a guide exposure not the light frame you are...
Hello, has any one ever changed the guide rate to see if it helps in CCD imaging? From the factory mine is set to +66 I changed it to +50 and saw no...
Hello Dan, Are you using an offaxes guider? or a guide scope? What camera and program are you using to guide? Usually the guide rate is the percent of sidereal...
Hello Michael, Sorry, the best you could do is is swap between the composit image and the last image taken. You could ask Astrosnap if they could support the...
Hello Todd, You'll need to use the cable that came with the DSI, 9pin serial (computer side)to phone jack( in the Hand controller). Then you'll need to click...
Another attempt at the "Bubble" this year, but this time I used a light-pollution filter (Meade calls it a "Nebula Filter") and 85 second exposures vs. 42 sec...
