Thanks for the advice, Tim. I have received an email from Wolfgang and sent him more information. I am waiting for his reply. From what I have seen on the WCS...
Matt, Tim and Steve, I think I have DSI-WCS installed and working. I decided to do a systems restore back to when I had the 30 day free trial. Then I deleted...

Hey Matt, I have purchased all of the materials to put together the defogger for my outback/camera. I was reading Chucks description for the defogger were he ...
Looks good to me, Steve. The pix does 15th mag stars cleanly, so I guess the white spots you mention are hot pixel noise that would come out with darks, and...
I mentioned this to Steve privately already but to me it looks like it's a slight amount out of focus. Zoomed in I can see that some of the stars in the upper...
Good points, Tim, and I sort of noticed them and think they're right but didn't want to write too awful much. My eye looks at the stars in the 4 corners and...
Thanks for the kind words guys! I'll wait for Matt to give it to me! LOL. I did a few of M57 with 30 sec exp. but the star trails were pretty bad. This one...

Steve, If you saved using fits - save all uncombined then you should have no trouble taking more and combining them. I think that you'll find WCS is more...
Steve, Your using the Pro or the Pro II, right? That being the case the first filter I would recommend is an HAlpha filter, you can use it for nebula even when...
Hi Matt, Thanks! I called Larry and as you stated, the mount has no parts available, so I will have to pass on it. :^( Floyd ... replacements. If a motor goes...
