Hello, I'm John and I'm glad to find such a wealth of DSI experience. A friend has just found several DSI's in a skip and one is earmarked for me so I may be...
Check out www.deepspaceproducts.com. I just got their extreme cooler for my DSI III Pro and it prevents frost and dew while cooling my camera considerably...
Hi, I just aquired a deep space cooler extreme for my DSI Pro III and I decided to start work on a dark frame library since I can now maintain a set ...

Howdy, My name is Gray and I live in Australia. I joined the group today to try to learn a bit more about the Meade imaging process. I would say that I'm an...
Looks nice- what scopes are you using??.. Dave From: yourkiddingmerightt Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2009 9:23 AM To: Meade-DSI-Advanced@yahoogroups.com Subject:...
Hi Dave, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Scopes range from a Celestron 102 Achromatic, a Bintel N200 203mm reflector and my old LXD55 SN10. Cheers, Gray. ... From: Dave Y...
Hi Gray, Welcome to the group! I enjoyed checking out your gallery, you've done some great narrowband work with your achro refractor. I used a Meade 6" achro...
Hi Matt, Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Thank you. At least the colour fringing and bloated stars don't show up in NB with the Achro like LRGB does! LOL! I must admit that...
To all Meade DSI Gurus out there, First of all, thanks for letting me join the group! This looks like a helpful and informative site, and Lord knows I need...
Kelsey, Thanks for the VERY prompt reply!! Unfortunately dark frames didn't help in my case. To do an Advanced calibration in AIP4Win I supply the program...
I'm not familiar with that particular software so I wouldn't know what to look for. There's probably a bad setting somewhere in the configuration but again, I...
Hi, My guess is that your 10 dark frames are not taken at the same CCD temp as your exposures. The darks and the exposures must be taken at the same CCD temp. ...
Toxo, Is that AIP4WIN2? Is the DSI III listed? Don ... From: "toxo144" <toxo144@...> To: <Meade-DSI-Advanced@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, April 17,...
To all, First, THANKS so much for the incredibly prompt responses!! I'll never feel like I am alone by myself with DSI issues ever again! Second, I have to...
Don, I almost forgot - my AIP4Win is a little over a year old, and I am not quite sure what you are asking in regard to the DSI 3 being "registered." What...
Toxo, The latest version is 2.3.0 and can be downloaded here. Make sure to follow the install instructions. http://www.willbell.com/aip4win/AIP.htm The DSI Pro...
Hi, I just began using my new Deep Space Cooler with my DSI and let me tell you, it works exactly as described! When I first received the cooler, the first ...
You're right, it should be able to scale the darks but it has to be told to do it in the darks section of the advanced setup & I've seen cases where this does...
OK, I think I get it.... When you take darks like you're taking them, then median or average combine them, there is a built in temp difference between the...
Can't wait to see your results! Did you get the entire DSC setup or just the basic cooler? My Pro III has been upgraded to the advanced setup but I've not used...
I got the "extreme" version which includes the water cooler. Thus far, I have only used the air cooler because the dew point has not yet threatened my...
Toxo, Temperature stablization with the DSI is very difficult. Make sure that the camera has been running for as long as possible (a half hour or more) before...
Ed, Matt & Kelsey, Again, thanks for your thoughts on the issue. It sounds like I have some hard (and possibly expensive) choices to make if I want to...
There are two people that I know of that convert DSIs to active cooling. Steven Mogg at http://webcaddy.com.au/astro/adapter.htm and Edward Thomas (of this...
I haven't been able to image much lately and since I also have a DSI Pro that I use, I've decided to part with my DSI Color. I've put it up on eBay and thought...
