I have used a Starlight Express MX716 camera for a couple years with good success. A friend of mine recently gave me a Meade DSI after he was very frustrated...
Michael, I looked at the pictures in your folder and it appears to me that 1) the stars are out of focus - the first especially looks like the donut, 2) you...
Er, ignore my previous post - I see that the first photo is of Jupiter - It still looks out of focus but the main thing is you should decrease the exposure to...
Thanks for the comments. I had enough time in "normal" mode where I can see that the camera is in focus. The camera will switch from having normal images to...
Hi All, I've added more DSI images in all categories to my DSI www pages pointed to from http://www.angelfire.com/rings/googong/astronomy/astronomy.html Bill...
Hi... Have you got the latest software update off of Meade's website? There were a lot of problems with the early release USB driver... Graham ... I ... can ...
Mike, and all, Just a shot in the dark (pardon thre pun) but the symptom of a negative image sounds a lot like what happens on my little 2-1/2 inch screen LCD...
Hi All, I'm not having any luck trying to autoguide my Meade LX90 at its full focal length of 2000mm using the DSI and Autostar Envisage. I'm not surprised at ...
Hi Mike, make sure you update the softwear, its found on the meade site. You'll want the "update as a suite" But I think the previous post might be inline,...
Hi everyone, I'm new to this group and new to my DSI. I got the DSI a couple of months ago, but I've only had a couple of good chances to try it out because...

the strange glow is what is refered to as amp glow.. a dark frame should remedy it make sure you use the same time for the dark frams as your image try...
Hi, Todd - you are off to a great start! good focus, excellent tracking, you captured a lot of good detail. (by the way, you picked a really challenging...
Greetings, Guillaume - welcome to the group. I'm guessing you win the long distance award! I'll give it one more shot on the things I have further ideas about...
If you averge 5-10 dark frames, you'll get a better result(I've never compared...so only one Dark may not be noticibly different).I usually use the "take...
Mine came with the adaptor. I use it all the time with several conventional camera lenses. Also available is a C-mount adaptor for specific brands of lenses....
Hi, Gerry If you remove the 1.25" nosepiece, the threads in the camera are female T-thread. (Be careful when you remove the nosepiece - the IR filter just lays...
Because I do alot of wide field imaging with the DSI, I have found that nearby ambient light (porch lights, street lights, etc.) is a special problem. The key,...
Thanks Chuck. It's funny that you say I picked a challenging target, that certainly wasn't my intent! I thought M101 would be easier because it's one of the...
Thanks. I haven't had the CGE for that long, but I like it so far. I did have one problem out of the box where it couldn't find it's switch positions (home...
I thank everyone for their suggestions. I uninstalled the software and then reinstalled the software on the CD and the update from the Meade web site. If I...

Mike - this is definitely not right. I'm not sure if it is your camera or something to do with your computer setup, but you should *not* be having this much...
