I'm not sure what you mean by "linking the two files"; I just ran the "exe" file, like any program-installer. When it asked for the installation directory I...

I have used an Original Meade DSI color, and now the StarShoot II color. From my own experience, and from viewing many of the photos being posted here, it...
Two reasons: tipically, dslr have smaller pixels (aprox. 6 microns) than DSI or StarShoot (8-9 microns). And maybe the main reason: a dslr image with 8 or more...
Short and sweet Kip.... I recieved my camera yesterday and it came with the owners manual, I took Kips advise and went to the file section and the last file,...
Yea.. it will work.. In simple terms.. The shoot's work on the same principle. Forget that it's for a starshoot 1 and take it from there.. I assume you are...
is the IR filter on ccd cams better than the one on dslrs? With a dslr Ive always been told to have the ir filter replaced if I want to do astro... not so...
Well.. the thing is DSLR cam's are made for everyday use (daylight) not astro stuff.. So your hitting a different band at night.. The night isnt' (of course)...
Hi Kip, I also have a DSCI II, and am wondering about one of your comments below: "Once your comfortable you can go with the full version of Maxim or try some...

Hello, I am trying to use the Ascom Starshoot driver with Nebulosity, and all exposures over one second come back completely black. I am using the ASCOM driver...
Perhaps I am confused, but why are you trying to use an ASCOM driver for capture? Usually I associate the ASCOM drivers only with guiding. I have the original...
Exposures of 1 second duration are good; I used those to re-align my goto mount from it's overnight park at the start of my session. It's only when I ramped up...

I am thinking about purchasing the Sirius EQ-G mount from Orion Telescope but I am curious of what the average periodic error is. The mount has PEC, but only...
I took me only 2 or 3 nights out to get at least one good image with my StarShoot. I've had more problems with my mount and pc. My first attempts had blue...
If you intend on dropping $1,300 astro bucks you might want to check out the new celestron mount. Although I do not own a celestron or an orion I have many...
That's the whole idea--I'm trying not to spend $1300 for a mount. The non GOTO mount is $849, but has no PEC. I guess the memory for the PEC is stored in the...
