Michael, I've found that CCD Inspector does an excellent job showing the state of collimation on the Epsilon, but I'm not so sure that it would be a good idea ...
I agree with Jeff on CCDI. I've tried to use it to collimate a couple of scopes and its pretty much an exercise in futility IMO. I I would collimate with the...
Effective Immediately Image Date, Optics, and processing comments are now required fields. If you don't fill out enough information in the database your images...
... Jerry Why are we changing this retroactively? Its a nusance to have to edit photos that have already been accepted for posting. Also, the new required...
I am changing it because newer members who recently have posted are not putting information in the fields. Instead they are loading two fields and skipping the...
Jerry, I would like to thank you for hosting the site. In my opinion however it should not be made harder to post to the site. It is hard enough now that some...
I am working on modifying the form to include indicators that the new fields are required. Should have that up in a few days. I understand your position that...
Hey Jerry, I'd love to understand exactly what fields will be required vs. those that will be optional over the next few months. I have a lot of images that...
Good question! At this point my plan is to set the following fields as required. But if data is not available for the field you would insert a N/A where ...
I also have a few suggestions that might help make things easier: 1) Drop down menus for more fields (like constellations) would be helpful, that will avoid...

Good idea Jerry. I already fill in those fields, with the exception of aperature and focal ratio which I already include in the Optics and Exposure fields. I...
Jeff, On your meridian flip issue. If you are using a Temma mount, I think you need to have the ASCOM drivers, not The Sky ones. I saw something in the Tak...
Jerry, Thanks for the complete list. Most of mine are missing something and I will get to it. The logic of filling in the information is different if you have...
Good points on both issues Ken. I will change lense to "Camera Lense", and set Exposure to mandatory. I apologize to all for the work this creates, and I am...
I posted the message below on Aug 31 but got no responses. Probably because the first part reads like a compliment to Kin for providing the link. Anyway, I am...
OPT has the Meade DSI on sale for $99 right now I believe it would be a good for guiding Mike ________________________________ From: SDAA_AISIG@yahoogroups.com...
If I am not mistaken, the Meade DSI cannot guide an LX-200 classic but can be used to guide an LX-200 GPS. Randy ... From: michael.johnson@... Date:...
At $129 I think the Meade DSI Pro monochrome should make a better guide camera because it doesn't have the Bayer matrix to make color. It's more sensitive,...
There could be various reasons why it was waiting to flip. First check your set up page/mount parameters/eastern and western limit. Another thing to think...
I logged in to start updating missing fields on existing images. The first one I picked didn't have the now required aperture field filled out. The image was...
Agreed. I am working on the template for that now. It should be there by Monday. I apologize for this issue and will correct it by Monday. In the meantime if...
I just tried to update optics. I put in 10" f4.7 Celestron with CC. and all that is saved is 10. I have always had the problem with the aperture field. Bob ...
I got one of the monochrome DSI cameras and it seems to work OK for guiding, with a 4-inch guide scope. The software I am using with it is called PhD...
Jeff Herman and I were talking out at TDS about a flexure problem that he was having with a ST-2000 on his TOA 130. Here are my thoughts on the problem. On the...
