... 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...

Thanks very mch Howie. I appreciate the compliment! Far from perfect, but from my driveway in the middle of the city light pollution using a very slow f15...
I've been using an DSI-C on and off for a couple of years now and have never really made the time to get down to really squeezing the best out of this camera....
Check out Nebulosity. I TOTALLY dig it and prefer it to Envisage. I do like Envisage's on the fly drizzle which I haven't figured out how to do in Nebulosity...
The dynamic range of the camera may not be as broad as the difference in brightnesses you are trying to image. See the various articles in books or on line or...

You might try a CardBus card with USB2.0 ports. I have tried one in past on difficult items (like cameras and laser printers) that like high speed. These...

You may want to try a smaller galaxy first, one that will fit on your DSI's chip. After you have practiced on some of them, then try your hand on M31. M51 is a...
M31 Andromeda Galaxy, taken last night using my 7" Mak and DSI Pro I for autoguiding, with my Minolta 80mm lens/DSI-Color I piggy-backed for imaging. 75...
I have just purchased a new laptop, and would like to load my Autostar software on it. However, I can't find my disk. I have downloaded Autostar suite from...
... Did you also get Envisage from the Meade web site? I think it is separate from the Autostar Suite download. I put only Envisage on my laptop to save disk...
Bernie, I just recently "reloaded" my laptop because I wanted Windows/XP on it instead of Vista. I too downloaded Autostar suite from the website. I...
Greetings, I have just ordered a DSI PRO II Mono and the filter set. to use it I just drop the camera into the top eyepiece place and I'm "good to go"...

Greetings, Still the new guy. I have looked at some sites with wonderful photos taken with an ETX-125. What is the .3 and .5 focal reducers function. Do I need...
