Hi All; I had to take advantage of so – so clear night so I attempted to get some rgb data on M66 a couple of nights ago. Two nights earlier I had download...
Hi Bob, Thank you! Quality=30, Number of images to evaluate=5. I saved the images in FITS format, save all uncombined images mode. I used Autostar-IP two star...
Excellent results from a tough target. I see Starry Nights lists this as Magnitude 10.50. This is reflected in the large amount of time you spent capturing...
Hi Tom; Very nice on a tough target! Although the listed mag is about 8, it's low surface brightness makes this a challenging object. It sure would be nice to...
Hi Bob, I'm not sure, but unless you had both cameras active at once. LPI and DSI both online and ready to use, i dont think what you describe would work! Did...

Great stuff, I think I need one of the Dark Emitting Diode Array's. A steal at only $699.95 as it includes shipping. I couldn't tell if they were 12 volt dc...
I got one of those last year. They're 220 volts. I have to shut off the air conditioner to use the DED Array. I will admit though, they really suck. ; ) ... ...
Ummm, actually they do offer a 12 volt DC DED array, but you have to ask for it. Absolutely great for your local star parties!! I used mine this past fall at a...

Hi, Both cameras must be plugged in when you turn on the computer so that the proper ports are initialized and proper drivers loaded (I think). I believe that...

I have just received my Meade 3.3 & 6.3 focal reducers. Before attaching these to my DSI I thought I'd try and see if I could view the heavens with them first,...
Try attaching the microfocuser first, then the FR. I have the 3.3 and always attach it to the back of the microfocuser. - Mike ... From: Michael McDermott To:...
Or, remove the diagonal - I think you have too much distance between the FR and the eyepiece. Did you try any other eyepieces? You might find a shorter FL...

Harry, thanks for responding the focuser itself bottoms out, not the microfocuser, Also I tried using a 26mm eyepiece and it gets nowhere close to focusing....
Harry, I have the 3.3 FR it does come with the T-adapters however there is no way the eye pieces can attach to the other end of the T- adapter. The t- adapter...
You'll need a 2" to SCT male adapter like JMI's ADAPT2THREAD to put the FR after the microfocuser. I have no problem focusing the 6.3 fr with the following...
Very strange. I have been focusing with the following two set ups for over two years. scope>6.3 focal reducer>microfocuser> diagonal>1/4 " eyepiece (12 mm -...
