Yo Nick, Love the way you can see the depth in the rosette! Really sweet.Love that AT66. Like the Xmas tree too, but the rosette is my favorite. I think I...
Thanks Steve! If I were in your shoes, I would have my 8'' limited to autoguiding duties for now and image with the AT66. That would eliminate the need for...
Just for us who didnt know Steve Naming a star What better gift could you give someone than the symbol of the first Christmas -- a star? Various companies...
Hi Nick, I agree with everything you suggested, but i hate giving up my 8" for a 2" scope to do images. The main reason I bought the scope was for images.I...

Hi Steve, It is not impossible to get good images with the LXD 75 mount and your 8''. However, getting into imaging using a wider field will ease you into the...
HI Nick, You know after all the time we have talked about this. That really makes the best explanation for me. It may even give me a few good images. LOL. I am...
Hello all, My DSI Pro III started to behave very strange last night. I have tried to reconstruct the situation as detailed as possible so here are some ...
Florentijn, This sounds more like a setting change in the BIOS or drivers that is related to the USB ports than it does a problem with the DSI. Check your bios...
Florentijn, I had similar distortion with my DSI Pro II and DSI Pro III when the weather gets cold. It's not the DSI's but could be your USB Hub that is not...
Hi all, Thanks Ron, Mike and Mark! You convinced me that the problem was somewhere in the USB chain into the computer, not in the camera: and you were right! I...
I got this a long time ago & documentation has long since gone away. I just got a DSI II color & want to sell the mono model. It has the filter bar, etc. My...
Hi Jim, I have the DSI PRO and the DSI ll. My PRO has an all black body and the DSI ll is a dark blue. I don't know if that's true for all of them, just mine. ...
Thanks for the reply! Well........... mine does have the all black body. I was hoping it was the pro model. Anyone else have some feedback on this? Is there...
That's correct regarding body color. Also, if you hook up to Envisage, the Pro won't show a temperature reading while the Pro II will. I'm sure the Envisage...
Sure enough, you reaffirmed my suspision. Envisage does NOT show temperature; so given that AND the black body color it has to be the Pro model. Thanks to...

I am trying to determine if the FOV of my ETX 90 piggy-backed to my 7" LX200 will take in the full view of the Horsehead and Flame Nebulas in one wide-angle...
Ya know, when I got my first DSI (IIC), I really couldn't tell whether it was blue or black in any type of light, including sunlight. Then, I installed one of...
Steve, Who would've thought that Imaging is a way to "save money?" Case in point, I recently modified an old 8x50 finderscope to use as a guidescope with my...
Hi Group, I was hoping someone here would know what is the standard way to collect luminescence data is when doing narrowband imaging. Through what filter is ...
HI kelsey, I may not know the answer to this question, but Matt Taylor the MOD of the group defiantly knows the answer and I am sure hes got the explanation...
Just a reminder to everyone if you ahve not backed up your HD it may be time to do so. Its the holidays and a TON of spam is spent and can corrupt your HDD....
Good advice steve! I highly recommend a "network storage system" along with software which automatically initiates a backup of important files every evening at...
Hi Kelsey, I think that most people do not do Luminance with Narrow Band, but rather rely on the HA for this. It is not actually needs because the narrow band...
Thanks Floyd, That could explain why I rarely find info about Luminance when looking at the exposure info from people who post narrowband imaging. So you're ...
Hi all, The way I have approached 'mono' imaging with filters is as follows (and I am talking about the 'standard' four-filter kit that Meade supplies with a...
Hi Kelsey, No - it is not always the case that folks use Ha data 'in place of' Lu data. Ha data exists right in the middle of the Rd part of the spectrum - so...
