Thanks for the replies. I'm going to try a 15m (48') USB extender with a repeater in the middle. If that works I'll let everyone know. In the meantime is...
I attempted to set up Astrotortilla last month, without success. So, yes, I guess I am interested, but need help that I didn't get on their website to get...

I was wondering if there is any way to use the Orion StarShoot Deep Space Mono Imager III for planetary imaging? Is there any software that would give it a...
It's not a fast frame rate that's critical for planetary imaging. A short exposure time is what you're looking for. I've done planetary imaging using a DSI II...
The best images I've done this way were of the moon. These were all done using the multiple image technique, using eyepiece projection, with a 6mm Plossel on...
Hello everyone! I just bought a used Orion #52065 Star Shoot DSCI v1 and I am looking for some DSO photos people have taken (especially with an SCT). I looked...
I am posing my questions to both groups in hopes someone may have some answers or suggestions. I recently purchased Orion's StarShoot Pro Deep Space Color...
Well generally speaking, it would be better to have the MPCC closer to the imaging surface to minimize any chance of vignetting. Anything placed between the...
Strange that they would include the IR filtering in a deep space imaging camera, where the lack of IR filters would be more beneficial. OK, thanks for pointing...
Thanks, Kevin. Next time out I will get the MPCC in the loop. As I indicated, this was the first time I had tried the new camera on the 8-inch. Previous...
I have been playing around with the free program, FITSVIEW, this afternoon, using images from my Thursday night session. I didn't have much success with the...
Hi Wayne, Good photo. Is this is the f/3.9, 8-inch astrograph from Orion? The MPCC should make a big difference, cleaning up the coma around the edges of the...
Yes, Kevin, it is the Orion 8-inch Astrograph, and as soon as I can get some more clear weather I will be trying M45 again with the MPCC in place. In the image...
Hello, Bob... I also have an old DSCI and have not been able to find any drivers that will work for it. I have heard that Windows 7 Pro can run Windows XP...
From what I have found is that there are no Win7 drivers for it even if you run it in XP mode on win7.. this is because it is not an incompatibility on the...
The Baader MPCC will not work if you attach it to the front of the camera. The MPCC is designed to be located 55mm from the imaging plane, the dimension that...
Win 7 Pro comes with the authorization from MS to download and install their virtual machine and its 32 bit Win XP operating system. This is a fully built XP...
Thanks for the info, Phil. The camera came with a barrel spacer that is about 25mm, so with the MPCC screwed into it, plus the 10.7mm spacing between the...
The MPCC is very frequently used with DSLRs which require a T adapter, the reason I mentioned it. T adapters end with a female T thread and, for DSLRs, the...
... I don't know how much difference there was between the DSCI and DSC2. I can get the DSC2 to work in WIN7 64-bit with the 64-bit Starshoot drivers. The...
... I use a 50 ft. active USB cable out to the observatory and run two powered USB hubs at the scope mount. So far everything works and it is carrying the...
Hello Folks, I have a question. My Orion Starshoot Deep space Mono III camera works great with MaximDL choosing the Orion driver. If I go to choose Ascom...
Update your ASCOM platform to 6SP1. I'm using a Win7-64bit PC and am able to use the ASCOM link in MaxIm-V5. ... I have a question. My Orion Starshoot Deep...
Does the USB-Ethernet carry power, or just signal - I thought they only carried signal, would be a very long, thin wire to try and send 5V DC across I...
USB over Ethernet uses active devices at both ends of the cable. There might be enough power at the far end to power the device itself but I wouldn't expect to...
use an Icron Ranger. I use one in my observatory 100 ft from my house. It supply's power for 4 USB2 devices. I added other power hubs to it for my devices....
