This group is for owners or potential owners of the Meade Deep Space Imager (DSI). The purpose of this group is to provide a location for discussion, questions and comments and for posting images made with the DSI. We welcome you to join and look forward to seeing some awesome images.

Congratulations to Rick Andersen, winner of the October monthly challenge, which was open to all targets.

Rick captured IC1805/Melotte 15 with a DSI Pro II, Antares 0.5x focal reducer, William Optics ZS80-II refractor, and Orion SII, Ha, and OIII filters mapped to RGB. The data totaled over 11 hours of exposure. Rick used Envisage for capture and dark subtraction, AIP4WIN for registration, and Fits Liberator and PhotoShop for processing.

Once again, all of the submissions were terrific photos. Congratulations to everyone!
Images and descriptions can be found in the Files folder: Files / Challenge Entries / 2009-10 Challenge.
