Hi Bob, That's pretty darn good for 2mins with no auto-guiding. Nice to see someone else using a 7" Mak for imaging. I also glad to see I'm not the only one...
Does anyone know where I may find a pin diagram for LX200GPS autoguider port? I may try PHD autoguiding. Telescope mount needs to be ST-4 compatible.I am...
It's encouraging to me to see that someone else is still imaging with their original DSI! I find it hard to believe that you can do 2 minute exposures,...
Steve, Actually, (just to enhance the impressiveness of 2 min unguided) the Meade 3.3 reducer only achieves about f/5 on the 7" Mak which is native f/15....
Steve, Well, I was waiting for someone 100% certain to chime in but for what it's worth, I'm 99% sure the LX200gps autoguide port is ST-4 compatible. I use a...
Check this site maybe it will help. It lists the Autostar RS-232 port. http://jan.eaglecreekobservatory.org/pinouts.html Jack Edmonds, Wa _____ From:...

Steve/Mike: Thanks for the comments re my M63 photo 2 min exposures without autoguiding. Actually, my stars were elongated slightly, so I used a Star Rounder...
Hey Bob, As long as you're having fun, that's what counts. Much of what you describe sounds awfully familiar. My last night out was spent drift aligning my...

Hi all, does anyone have an Orion Eon 80mm? I would love to see some photos or hear user opinions on this scope. I currently have an ED80, and am wondering...
"Hey Bob, As long as you're having fun, that's what counts. When, if, I ever upgrade to a DSI 3 I still haven't decided if it'll be B/W or color." I agree...
Same night as your M51, Bob. 1min subs, LRGB 30, 10,10,10, DSI Pro, 1min subs, autoguided. I might try drizzling this to 1.5x. Photos, Steve Bell, M13. Steve...

Hi Steve, Might be hot pixels. Did you do any dark subtraction? Even mild hot pixel noise can be very bright after you stretch the contrast. Is this the...

... Holy man I've missed a lot in the months I was gone! That is simply awesome! If you're looking for a polar alignment tool I believe EQAlign plays nice...
If I can find my old code I'll upload it to the site. I wrote the DSI drivers for Craig Stark and managed to create the OSX drivers despite not having a real...
Hi Bob Nice M3 cluster. I see some green and blue artifacts and wonder what is causing them.I can see many more in my own pics when not polar aligned and doing...
