The box that would allow me to select a com port is not even there.It seems the only choice is a net connection. Jeff In a message dated 4/30/2009 7:59:58 P.M....

Jeff, Yeah that's puzzling. So the Status at the bottom left says something like "Scope NOT Connected"? Under Telescope Tab, right? Sorry if you've already...
Jeff, go ahead and type in: com1 in that box to the left of the "Connect" button (or whatever your com port number is) and it will work. I found this a bit...
Todd, thanks for info,I guess I didn't think to do that.Is is different than the older version.I will give it a try. Jeff ************** Access 350+ FREE radio...
Dave- Wouldn't install because saying "WindowsBase 3.0 needed to be installed in Global Assembly Cache; see your system administrator". Any suggestions? Tnx. ...
This is my first supernova image. This SN was discovered on 4/13/09 and is in Ursa Major. I also caught NGC4085 in the same image. If anyone has an image pre...
Sorry for the OT. I'm having an issue with polar alignment that I could use some advice with. I recently upgraded to an Astropier (LeSueur) with the polaris...
Hi all, Well now that I've got a mount that can easily exceed 5 minutes, with guiding, I'm bumping into the limits of the DSI cameras regarding noise. If I...
Joel, I had the same problem, possibly for a different reason. I haven't been able to test the solution due to weather. Assuming you are using the DSI with...
Thanks for the reply, Pieter. Unfortunately I have the camera oriented correctly such that the star moves left to right and up and down when I slew the scope....
I have the Outback cooler on my DSI Pro II, and I love it. It seems to keep very consistent temperatures. I know that some others here use the Deep Space...
Hi Dave. The outback does allow for rock stable chip temperature throughout the imaging session. I've used it for my DSI Pro III and have never had to use more...
Thanks guys, I'm actually looking for something less expensive than the Outback. For instance, I could add a TEC device and heat sink to the back of the imager...
 Why don't you guys use a feed of dry air or CO2 to the DSI. A number of dryers are available or you could construct your own using silica gel, a plastic...
Dave, The Ed Thomas' Deep Sky Cooler is the only off-the-shelf solution that I know of that has a dry air solution to prevent dewing. It will run you some...
Here's a picture of the Pro III and TEC, with insulation. I should have extended the insulation to the front of the camera body as well, but had to fit the...
I want to use my 80mm refractor (545mm F.L.) with A x2 barlow to guide my LX-90 using envisage.Can anyone tell me if I need to type into the autoguide box my...
"variable pulse rectifier circuit which is cheap using a light dimmer, a transformer to the correct voltage and a blocking diode" That's easy for you to say...
Hi Rick. Yes, type in the actual FL (1090) of the guide scope with Barlow added. But I've been able to guide my 10" LX200R successfully using an ED80 (FL...
A while back I downloaded 'AutostarWeb50.exe', an 80 Mb file that was version 5 of Autorstarsuite, I assume. I never got around to installing it. I've been...
... Use the effective focal length of 1090 mm. Your barlow lens probably will be more than 2x in this situation, because the magnification does vary with the...
Thanks  Bud. Rick ... From: William Hamblen <wrhamblen@...> Subject: Re: [Meade_DSI] Envisage Autoguiding To: Meade_DSI@yahoogroups.com Date: Monday,...
Rick- ...another potential issue with the Barlow is you're speed goes down to f/13.8, reducing your choice of guide stars. (I bought one for guiding and then...
Derek  I was under the impression you guys knew a little about electronics circuits simce some of the coorespondents on this board are cutting holes into...
Well you guys have certainly given me some options. I think I'm probably going to go with a modification of my original plans. Rather than a totally...
