Hey, you can still visit, you know! Sorry to hear about the back...and the DSI's :-( Are you sure they are really dead? Sometimes people think they are, but...
Hey Mark, Actually for my DSI Pro II guide scope, I use the ScopeStuff DSIB adapter plate (which is the T-thread/shutter replacement for the Meade filter bar...
Transitioning to other gear of necessity, I'd like to thank everyone in the group for all the help and enjoyment the past several years. Special thanks to Kel...
I would place my bet on flex in the focuser. Everything else has set screws that you can tighten as needed. Doesn't the William Optics focuser have a lock...
Got it. I think I will have a look at the Scopestuff adapter as well. I don't see moving to 2" filters right now as the camera I am eyeing (or the filter...
Yes, I can pretty easily wiggle the camera with all the gear in place. Another symptom is that I can center an parfocalized EP on a star in either East of...
Hey Mark, You are correct about the 1.25" IR filter not working with this setup. I had a 2" IR that came with my DSLR that I screwed into the nosepiece of the...
What are the symptoms of flexure? Can you wiggle the camera back and forth or does it show up in star images? Most small refractors are made for visual use...
Super. Now, if I may ask one last question. In that setup, where do your filters go? These would be 2" filters? Currently, mine are 1.25" that I just...
Hey Mark, Glad to be of service. I use the 2" Prime Focus adapter seen here: http://tinyurl.com/8hyjn4 <http://tinyurl.com/8hyjn4> it simply screws onto the...
Thank you Steve, that may be just the answer. As for the adapter, could you tell me which one of these it is? http://tinyurl.com/yjsuo6x I like the Megrez...
Hey Mark, I'm using a DSI IIIC coupled to a Meade 80mm ED APO and use the Orion 2" to T thread adapter connected directly to the T threads on my camera and the...
I have a DSI IIIc and am currently using a WO Megrez II 80mm for imaging. I am looking to change this setup because of the ridiculous amount of backfocus...
Steve, Tom and all who responded with suggestions. I just got an email from George. He is very happy to report that the dot Net "reload" fixed his problem...
Steve, Thanks for the response. I've forwarded your message (and link to the dot Net files) to George. It has been a while since we talked. Hope all is well...
This weekend has a waning crescent Moon, and we're headed for a New Moon in a few more days. Don't miss the opportunity to catch lots of data on your favorite...
I apologize, I didn't look closely enough at the error your friend was getting. Yes, the problem is that he is missing the .Net Framework 2.0. Even if it was...
Tom, Thanks for the reply. I think George is monitoring this discussion. At any rate, I'll let him know what you suggest. Thanks again, Don ... From: Tom...
Hi Don, The nature of the error message makes me wonder if perhaps Envisage is not finding an operating system file it needs. Since Envisage uses the .NET...
Hi All, The OS is indeed XP Pro SP2. Same OS on all the computers and the Envisage is working fine on all but this one machine. Thanks in advance for any...
Kel, I believe George uses XP Pro. I know for a fact that he doesn't care for Vista! Don ... From: skywardview To: Meade_DSI@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday,...
Hi, My friend George is having a problem using his DSI, Envisage, and a Dell computer. He emailed me the following asking me for help. I thought someone here...
The IP 127.0.0.1 is a loopback address that is used for testing the NIC. As such it is an unused address. Try using a static IP something like 192.168.20.xx....
Chuck, sure am glad you know what the link to that setup is, I always seem to forget about it and was racking my brain the other day trying to remember how to...
