Hello All, Can any one help me with this problem of cosmic hits or what ever it is ? When imaging I get a very bright screen which looks like some one has just...
Thanks Tom! Next time, I will take care of checking "Dark I substract". Joaquín ... Hi Joaquin, What you see is hot pixels that have not been subtracted out...
Hi All; It sure is nice to get some time in behind the scope. Here is my rendition of NGC 4565 http://www.jemartool.com/astro/ Regards; Chuck Domaracki...
Mark, You will most likely want to try for longer exposures than you did. You said it took about 60 images over a 2 minute period. That means you were taking 2...
Alan, Nice shots. As for the darks and hot pixel, I have had the same problem here recently with my DSI Pro II. I have even taken darks immediately before I...
WOW Chuck. Simply stunning. Love the detail in the dust cloud. Keith Chuck Domaracki <chuckd@...> wrote: Hi All; It sure is nice to get some time in...
I've been following the discussions re: focal reducers and still am a bit confused--and I want to make sure I buy the right one ($$$). If I understand the...

Very nice image Chuck I have 1 I need to finish up but the high winds and clouds keep me from doing it Keep up the great work Mark ... -- M.T.S.O. ...
Hi Keith, thanks for your kind comments. I tend to agree with your assumption that cooling will work. It is quite a different camera from the DSI 1 isn't it. I...
Hello, I just joined this group today and i'm learning a lot. nice group. I'm a newbie at DSI photography. I took a look at all of your pictures in this group...

Hi, Rescue (?) Using the DSI for planetary imaging requires some "special" techniques. Here are a couple of links that should help: Planet settings for the DSI...
I would agree with Leonard - I think your best bet would be the Meade 6.3, or the Antares .5x from Scopestuff. ChuckR ... 5.0. ... reduses ... F3.3 ... amount ...
Hi, Alan - nice pics! Yes - you have to build the dark frame library. The accuracy of your dark subtraction is controlled by the temp variance selection under ...
Hi Clive, I think it is likely that something other than cosmic hits is causing the intermittent over-exposed frames. In the past I have seen where the DSI...
Hi, Clive These are not cosmic hits...those look like little bright spots or streaks similar to hot pixels. I think what you have here is "cosmic fluctuation"...
Hi, Mark The 6.3 will work fine, no doubt. My experience with the 3.3 is that it works great at F5 (using the included extension tubes) and is marginal, but...
Thanks for you fast reaction Mark. I'll give it a try. focussing with that mask looks very easy:) maybe i also need to have more patiende when focussing. When ...
Greetings Chuck, et al. Thanks for your response below. The wind was a real bugger last night but since it was gusting rather than sustained, about half my...
Hi Chuck & All of the Group: File space has been cleared for further contest entries. Thank you Chuck for the heads-up on the space problem. The moderators...
Hi Tom, Thank you for taking a look at this problem and for telling me you too suffered this until you changed over to Envisage. I still use the AutoStar DSI...
Hi Chuck, You are correct in that it does not happen all the time and not every session. Oh yes I do "save all uncombined" like you I will go through them and...
I think we did that on purpose Chuck. We are all scared to compete against you after that beautiful NGC 4565. ;-) Keith Chuck Domaracki <chuckd@...>...
Tom, Do our individual photo album affect this space issue? I will move my images elsewhere if it will help free up space for the group to use. Keith Tom King...
