Polls for the April imaging contest are open! You can cast your vote by visiting the group's polls section. To see the photos in the contest please see:...
Good question. In some respects I stick to my guns in that great images are made during post processing but starting with good data is a key to success. So...
I agree to a certain extend, but with DSI III's bigger chip you will be able to pick up more details on the same object, if you haveĀ setup with same FOV under...
Hi Matt...yes this is what I thought...some of the wild and wonderful images I am seeing here is just not possible to compete with a DSI 1...with your notable...
Hi, I say that because the series one cameras match dark frames based on camera name and exposure time without regard to CCD temp whereas the series 2 and 3...
Hi all, Everything Matt says is correct regarding the series 1 cameras. However, here's a nice M51 by Duncan McCloud, using 10 minute exposures with the DSI-C:...
Nice job everyone really good photo's Meade-DSI-Advanced@yahoogroups.com wrote: Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the Meade-DSI-Advanced...
Hi Dave, I think you have a point myself. Having used the DSI I, DSI II and now DSI III, I think there is an advantage to the larger chip and smaller pixels. ...
That's a miracle image, 10 minute subs with a series one camera and an ASGT mount with an F/5 telescope. Must have been a really good night. Matt ... From: Kel...
I can understand the DSI 1-2-3 thinking, but then you nahve ton think about everything else that you use. What about the guy that uses the $10,000.00 scope to...
Agreed floyd..i mean apples to apples here......i havent sent a pic in before mainly due to time and ability to get out there with my scope... judging these...
Hello Dave, I have said this before. I have the DSI C, DSI Pro, DSI ProII. I have owned
the DSI C II. You can get good images with the DSI C, but you can not...
Post processing is 80% of the photo to be sure. But nothing can make a good photo from bad data. If you can not get a good exposure due to camera, mount or...
Hello Floyd, I am very happy with my DSI Pro II. My point is, no matter how well your
processing skills are, you will not match the DSI Pro III. If that were...
Good points Floyd, I agree. I would add one thing. When it comes to narrowband HAlpha the Pro III can't keep up with the Pro II from what I've seen. The Pro...
I don't do a lot of color imaging, mostly narrowband, but there is no reason at all that the Pro III should be any better at LRGB than the Pro II given the...
Ummm, on a different note...is there a reason the poll shows who voted for who? Not that I have a problem with anyone knowing whose pic I voted for, it's just...
Matt, I'm seeing quite a bit of damage in your area after the line of storms and tornadoes moved through early this morning. How did your property come...
Hey Greg, No real damage here. It did blow down some of the ice storm broken limbs that I couldn't reach with the pole saw, the observatory roof stayed on, so...
Hi Nick, Its been pretty lousy weather here for the past week or so. I am still having problems with the alignment of the scope. Cant keep it in one position....
When you polar align on a pier, your alignment should stay put for a fairly long time, unless the mount rotates, or you remove the scopes. That has me curious...
I think the big problem is that I need a different top plate. I have it secured through the bottom. Here is a photo. There is also a couple more of the mount...
Hi Matt, First of all, yes, the DSI II does seem to be better suited to HA, but let me get some more data on that. I will try tonight if possible. I have...
