Well since my DSI pro 1 died, Meade sent me a new DSI 2 Pro in exchange. I am pretty excited. I am going to try it out this weekend and wasw hoping for some...
Atik now has a powered filter wheel, but not sure how good it is. http://www.astrovid.com/prod_details.php?pid=3451 Price is $350 Floyd ... about a ... three...
... Thanks Floyd. That might be the ticket. This is from ATIK's website: The wheel is prepared to be upgradeable to USB computer interface, which will enable...
Great shot Nick! I just finished this target using the 80mm and can imagine how much more difficult it must be to image it at that focal length. Can't wait to...
OK I got 5K to spend on astronomy stuff. Just closed the deal today. Now I would like to get something that would get me going really well in this hobby. I...
Agree with Matt. Invest in a high-end mount, which will be the base for any scope you decide to use or buy later. Nick http://www.ccdsky.net 39.9940°N ...
What price range is the G11? I assume It should be bought new? --- ... base for any scope you decide to use or buy later. ... today. ... well ... the...
Ok 3k for the mount...what else? Since i am WAY behind everyone else I would love to get up to speed with everyone else. Nothing used. For 2k I should be able...
Thanks Derek, yes it is a totally different ball game. I'm hoping for some clear skies to finish it up. Nick http://www.ccdsky.net 39.9940°N 83.0630°W ... ...
... I was going to suggest using the SN and getting one of those fancy new DSI III cameras. If you must get rid of the SN, get rid of it in my direction! :)...
Hi Steve, The 80 Lomo Triplets are very good (I copied Floyd on that one). Stellarview still has a couple of them in the SV80S form with a Feathertouch...
There's a lot of first on this one. First LRGB. First time to use this scope, SV80S. First time to use the AP909 Module on my Vixen Mount. Comments are...

Steve, Obviously the 18K quote was wrong, it was late. The price is $1795 for the SV80S. http://www.stellarvue.com/sv80s.html John ... from ... post ... look ...
Hi Steve,  You should also consider the Atlas EQ6 mount from Orion ($1200 without goto controller) and use it together with EQMOD (free software). I'm able...
... A G-11 is in the $2,500 range. Add a thousand for the go-to version. Second hand ones show up on Astromart. If the mount has not been abused a second...
Steve, Sorry, I must have missed this post. I started imaging with a LXD75/AR6. I'm assuming since you have a SN scope you have an LXD75 mount also. If this...
Tim, If you just want to tighten up the light leakage in your filter wheel, I have some thin felt strips left over from Floyds fix in the files section. I'm...
... Thanks John, I might take you up on that. I do suspect that I'll end up getting the motorized wheel from Atik once the USB/ASCOM bit is available and I...
Great! Just send your mailing address and the stickyback felt strips will fit in an envelope. I'll send it right away. John ... the ... so ... but I ... end...

Hi, With both cameras plugged in and running in Envisage select the Pro camera's live image tab then select "Settings" from the main menu. Is the dark frames...
Wow those are good color camera shots Daniel! The color, including the star color is really really good. I'd really like to see you use this setup to take...
Hi Matt, The camera I was using was the original DSI color not the DSI II. I have the DSI II Pro monochrome as well but didn't have it plugged in at all that...
