Thank you Neil, ChuckR, Matt, Don W. and Don D. for your comments. It has been a lot of fun using the DSI-C. I guess we all owe it to Meade for making such a...

Hi Don; Wonderful image! This has always been one of my favorite pairings. And what a FOV. Nice round stars also. How do you like your LXD650? I have one now...

Hi David, I don't know of any utility that will deal with AVI files directly; but I found that I could use K3's "export selected frames" command to convert the...
As you might know by now, the Moderator group is kicking off a new project to help spread the collective knowledge of the folks in this group. (See the recent...
That's what I was expecting when I first got the camera however and tested it inside while I was learning the software. But I had it powered up for almost two...
I guess I'm not looking so much for help from Meade but to let them know they may have a quality control problem with the machining of the cold finger face. I...
Hi Richard, Thanks for your comments. I used the DSI color for my image. Visually I thought it looked a little greenish but my wife thought more bluish. My...
Matt, Thanks for the advice, I think I'll use that technique when installing the Outback Cooler. I am however, going to mask off the pins along the side of...
Thanks. Here are the questions I sent to Steven regarding the Outback installation and case sealing procedures, if anyone else has dealt with this and can...

You can do the same in PhotoShop: Image->Image size, uncheck the "constrain proportions" box & change the width. Or, AIP4WIN will do it (sorry, don't remember...

Hi, Don - exceptional image (as usual!). I would like to take this opportunity to say "Thank You" from the group for all the time & effort you have expended to...
Hi, Neil - it is definitely worth trying on another laptop if that is an option. If you could find another DSI user near you, it would be well worth swapping...
Hi, Neil Have you been following Darrell's "heat sink" thread? Might be worth opeing your case & checking to see if the thermal paste is properly connecting...
Yeah, I have. Mine looked OK when I initially installed it - I got the expected pattern of paste splats <g>. When I use the Outback, I certainly get the heat...
Just a thought, but it is my understanding that the thermal grease is, in addition to being highly thermally conductive, also hight conductive electrically....
Hi Darrell, Thermal grease is not conductive and does not cause circuit paths to short. So I would not worry about the circuits being shorted out from any...
