I am finally going to set up my LX200 GPS 10' with an autoguider. Too cheap to buy the mounting system so have decided to DIY. Anybody out there know of any...
Started a Flikr account for posting astrophotos. My latest of M27 now up with technical details. Seems like every image of M27 has a different color scheme,...

Congratulations to Tim Geib, winner of the October monthly challenge, which was open to all targets. Tim imaged the Helix Nebula, using a DSI Pro III and Meade...
Nice job, you must have been out late. M42 didn't clear the horizon until after 11:15. It would have been close to 1pm before it was high enough to try to...
I second the Deep Sky Stacker recommendation. I don't know of a better freeware for stacking. It's alignment routine is as good as most high end programs. ...
Well I finally made my purchase! Ordered the Orion Atlas mount. (should be here in a week)Seems like a solid choice and a major upgrade from my LXD75. Also...
Join the EQMOD group. You can run the software using the hand controller as the interface to the scope if you set the controller to "PC Direct" mode. It's not...
Hi Steve, I have just recently upgraded from an LXD75 to an Orion Atlas mount as well. But I am sticking with my SN8 for an OTA just yet. I have purchased a...
Hi Steve, So far,,,,, GGGGGEEEEERRRRRRAAAATTT ! It might not be a Paramont MX but I am quite happy with it. I watched a cohort play with a brand new Paramont...
Thanks Chuck. I downloaded the images from the M5l session. However, again I hit a roadblock since these are Astro_Image files requiring a license to view...
Len how do I know if I need an adpater plate for my scope? I still have my SN8 so I have those rings. Just no idea what the celestron Edge hd 8 has. Pretty...
Hi Steve, Looks like is comes with: "Includes dovetail rail compatible with CGE mount". I do not know if that is compatible with the Vixen style dovetail on...
This is a shot I took this past Friday and Saturday night up in the very cold Adirondack foothills. It was 9 degrees and I had to fight frost build up all...
Very nice! I need a 14", my 8" CPC would take a week! ____________________________________________________________ Mom Is 55, Looks 35… Her Clever Wrinkle...
I'm having a problem with my Meade DSI camera (actually I always had it). It all works pretty good with short exposures, but as I increase them, the sky in the...
Often, this is caused by "sky glow", a symptom of light pollution. Where are you imaging from? Are you in the middle of a city? Are you imaging into the...
Claudio, I have found that keeping the gain to 100% is pretty much the way to go with the Meade DSI line. You might want to play with the offset a bit to find...
Thanks! I'll look at that. Anyway my main concern right now is about the background level. That problem stop me from doing any exposure of long lenght, and...
Claudio, Where are you taking your pictures from? Is the area heavily light polluted? If so, sky glow will appear similar to a milky film in front of...
Yes, my area is heavily polluted, but that doesn't appear to be the problem. I took pictures with an Sbig ST7 in the same situation, and the background doesn't...
Claudio, That does seem excessive. I'm afraid I'm not sure what would be causing your problem, but hopefully another member here will be able to help you. ...
Finally got my Celestron Edge HD 8" scope! So excited Getting my Atlas mount tomorrow and should at least be viewing the night sky tomorrow night. Is it...
Generally on the Meade DSI series 1 and 2 gain is 100 and offset 50 on the DSI 3 series gain 100 and gain from 46 to 50.It will vary. Mark -- M.T.S.O. ...
