Chuck, a great image despite the challenges; I live in central california and have forgotten waht stars look like! If you have time, please take a look at the...
Hello everyone, I was just reading a post here that implied that the DSI has a removable nose piece that can be replaced with the FR 3.3 variable T adapter....
Afternoon folks, Well, I was looking very closely at the IR filter of my DSI to discover a small chip in the corner of the lense. I've had it now for about 2...
Oh yeah.....mine makes a crunching noise every time I screw an adapter on....lol...it hasn't broken much yet though. I have some mylar that I'm going to cut...
Mark, Congrats on your choice of the DSI! The following webpage has photographs of various optical train configurations of the DSI using the Meade 3.focal...
Hi Daniel, According to most in the group FITS is the preferred format. This is because it retains the most information to my knowledge, although I think...
Thanks again for the help... I have bookm,arked the site and added it to my MUST BUY list for the spring... Dave ... IR ... tighten ... Baader IR ... ...
Hi, I got my DSI about two weeks ago, and so far have only been able to get an image on it once. I've encountered most of the problems that others have...
Phil, That is very similar to the problems I had with my original DSI. It got worse over time, and then finally wouldn't be recognized by any computer at all....
Thanks for the post Tom, but now I am really confused. The photgraphs show different distances from the back of the FR giving different Focal Ratios...all...
For now, you might disregard the link that was shared. It is woefully incorrect. I'll take some pictures today showing several configurations and list the...
Mark, Michael is quite right. I am in the process of changing my website to php database driven content. The captions and images are indeed quite incorrect. ...
Mark....here's as far as I'll go....I took the 1-1/4" nose piece off the DSI and screwed the Meade # 64 T- Adapter onto it which then is screwed on to the back...
Tom, I'm sorry. I wasn't aware that was your own page. I should have used better words. There is quite a bit of group confusion regarding reduction rates....
No problem at all. Thank you for catching the problem. I will get with you off group in a bit :-) Tom ... From: "Michael Garvin" <snootgarvin@...> To:...
Mark...In photo album Dr. Myers I posted a couple of pictures of my configuration for the ETX 125 and how the T-Adapter is just screwed onto the DSI. I hope...
Hi, Steve A couple of questions: What F-ratio are you working at (with each scope)? What are your post-processing steps? My guess is that the data you are...
Al, I could be wrong here... I think I read that Meades implementation of the saved TIF files were actually 8 bits per channel images while the fits files...
Hi Don, I am assuming that you are running in ALT/AZ mode to use the DSI on the rear cell? On my ETX-125, there doesn't seem to be clearance for the camera on...
Robert, I believe you are correct. I'm sorry if my answer was misleading. I was trying to say that fits is best, but tiff a bit easier to work with. Sorry if I...
Hello, ... Absolutly right ! The only format you can use to have the whole 16bits is "fts" with the 3 channels splitted. In fact, if I've correctly understand...
Polo, To be clear, are you saying that while capturing the image you: 1) Uncheck Autocontrast 2) Pull on curser all the way to the right and the other all the...
Greetings, and happy new year to all! Sitting around & pondering the year that just passed, I got to thinking about the introduction of the DSI just a few...
Hi Phillip, I have installed my DSI on my old NEC 333 Mhz with 256 megs of RAM and 1.0 USB and due to the weather I have not field tested it yet but I plug it...
Chuck, I whole heartedly agree. The DSI has been so much fun. For me I was lucky and had no trouble out of the box. My first picture wasn't the best, but I...
Hi Gary, I have basically the same problem as Philip. Mine worked until i tired to use a pcmcia card that used a usb power source. Others have said this has...
