FWIW, Maxim is a more powerful piece of software with a more intuitive user interface IMO. However, it costs big bucks and CCDSoft comes with the camera. You...
Jeff Herman, Just saw the pic you posted from Borrego. Very nice! What more can you tell me about 896 -- where is it? etc.? I don't think I've ever seen it...
All, I'm going to take the plunge and purchase a remote guider head, MOAG, and Adaptive Optics for my STL11k and to fund that project, I need to unload my ...
I think you might find it interesting to see the update to the text of my image at http://aisig.sdaa.org/astroblogDetail.asp?imgID=1762&UserID=54 Carey ...
I thought you guys might be interested in this guy imaging from your area. Also my latest: http://www.flickr.com/photos/quarkcsj/2036582711/ Carey ... ...
Hey folks, I just posted my semi-final version of NGC 1333 that I've been working on since September (at this point). Comments on color/processing etc. would...
Hi Jeff I was looking at this earlier and all I can say is WOW very nice shot Mike J. ________________________________ From: SDAA_AISIG@yahoogroups.com...
Roger, Jeff, Vince, I finally got around to taking your advice on manually turning my RA bearing 360 degrees after taking out the backlash on the worm blocks....
Great news! It's really pretty easy to adjust once you get the hang of it, and thankfully I've not had to mess with my Titan worm clearance after dialing it...
Jeff, Great image, one of the best NGC1333 region I've seen. Color and processing looks right on. I've been considering doing a 6 x 7 degree mosaic of this...
John, I was also thinking about a mosaic, like my Rho Ophiuchus project though, it will probably wind up being a multi-year project though. It really took ...
I'm asking for help from anyone who knows Meade's DSI I've been using the DSI for about 6 months now but I'm unable the get a shot longer than 45 seconds. When...
Mike, Try using PrimaryImage software. _www.PrimaryImageSoftware.com_ (http://www.PrimaryImageSoftware.com) It actually allows you to use long exposure times...
Jeff I know this is probably a dumb question but where is your NGC 1333 image posted? I can't seem to fing it on the AISIG site. Is there a standard way to...
Hi Scott, The actual image is here: http://aisig.sdaa.org/astroblogDetail.asp?imgID=1767&UserID=53 or http://tinyurl.com/25q3gh If you go to the main photo...
Michael, I suspect your problem is software based. You didn't mention which camera-control software program you're using. If you're using Meade's AutoStar...
Polar Alignment – LX200 Classic with wedge. Can anyone help me get on track as I seem to be lost? Last Saturday I spent several hours playing around with...
Charlie, I'm not familiar with your setup. . .but when you were moving the scope, I'm assuming you were doing so with your actual mount adjustment knobs and...
Charlie, See my notes below. ... The scope should not have slewed to Polaris at the beginning of the procedure. The Polar Alignment procedure starts with the...
Charlie, I don't even bother with LX-200 built in alignment. I roughly align to within a half degree and then go straight to drift alignment. The feedback from...
Thanks Randy and Bob, The question I still have is with the built in alignment, when you first start the procedure it instructs you to set the DEC to 90 and ...
Charlie, There's no AISIG meeting this month or December. It is so much easier to just not do the iterations and go directly to drift alignment procedures. Bob...
Bob, Just trying to figure out what was going on because I spent so much time at it and didn't get the results I expected, I looked at the link you provided...
Charlie, I recently used the proceedure in that link in my backyard. It took me all of 20 minutes to get nearly perfect alignment. It's been so long since I've...
Mike -- I've got a bunch of time invested in learning Envisage and the DSI(s) It sounds as though you need to get the latest updates off the Meade site. I...
