Hi everyone; My DSI III has malfunctioned. It does not download an image properly to the PC. It does respond to light, but I can't get an image transmitted to...
Hi Bill, where are you living? I had to send my DSI II to Meade in Germany, from the UK, for an out of warranty repair - they exchanged it for a new one and...
Greetings fellow APers. Just got my new (used) Meade DSI-II Color and just as soon as the Arizona monsoon clouds clear, I'll be imaging with my WO ZS-66ED....

Wow! membership in the group is 1,584 DSI folks and so far this month, only two posts? Surely more people are active in this group? No? Bill...
Good morning, Bill; There are a lot of people out here, yes. Many of us are learning about Deep Space Imaging and how to auto-guide or even just "guide." ...
Hi group,I bought a adapter cable from Radio Shack and the computer and the telescope will not communicate.It wont open the com port.I called Meade and they...
... This is off topic for Deep Sky Imager because none of the Meade DSIs have an RS-232 serial port. By "cable" did you mean a USB to RS-232 serial adapter?...
... Sorry I didnt realize this was off topic.Thank you for your reply.The DSI did not come with the adapter cable.I did install the drivers.It sounds like I...
... William, I disagree that this is off topic. The DSI doesn't come with a serial port, but the software that comes with the DSI uses a serial port to...
... You need two things to hook up your computer to the telescope. An RS-232 serial port, and a special cable. If you don't have an RS-232 serial port, then...
Bruce, Thanks for your expert help! One must also know how to determine which com port is in use to configure the Autostar suite communication settings, since...

I would like to know how to park an LX200 if any one here has one and has an observatory could you tell me how you do it? Dose it make it so you don't have to...
Hi, Dan; The PARK feature is available on the LX200GPS and later models. I don't believe it is available on an LX200 classic. I park my LX200GPS before...
Thanks Red for the advice. I can't find the manual and always setup the scope every night. It's an LX200R GPS and I'm building an observatory for it. I have...

You could try many images in stages or steps of exposure. A wide dynamic range is needed to get both the spiral arms and the core in the same shot. To do it...
M31 is inherently difficult to image due to its size and dynamic range. You might want to try some other galaxies first, just to tweak technique and feel it...
