Meade should headline their advertisements for the DSI with that image, Chuck. Acquisition and processing are both well done. My regards, dan kowall ...
Hi all, I've had a pretty nice string of weather in April, allowing me to take some fairly deep images (deep, at least for me). Each was taken over multiple...

Good feedback on choosing between a larger CCD chip and a focal reducer, guys. Thanks! To Paul: The scope is a newtonian, and the goal is definitely to make...
Hi Chuck, Heh, heh, "cheating" because I image unattended with ACP - it's more like a not-so-secret extra advantage. Ron (and most anyone else) continually...

I have used Automapper many times and get nearly 100% of the points mapped. Using the same setup tonight it has not mapped even one point. I've been trying...
That error means that TheSky is refusing the request to perform an automap. Check your server settings. The second error is probably caused by the first one -...
