Hi Jim I effectively increased the SII (red) in the SIIHaOIII image by adding the traditional magenta hued LHaRGB data from the old data set into the new data...
Wow, this is great info! Thanks, Wade! I appreciate you going into detail for this issue. I will look into the AP fr's. I am just glad to know why my stars...
Very nice. Did you reduce the HA or increase the SII contribution ? thanks , Jim ... From: "strongmanmike2002" <m. sidonio @ bigpond .com> To: ccd-newastro@...
I took on board what a few had said about the last version being a bit too green and weak in displaying the SII and came up with this version. The stars are...
Hi Mark, Re. the Meade focal reducer on ACF systems, the Meade f.r.'s (and Celestron's too) have a "negative coma" designed into their lens elements to correct...
Thanks Rainer, This summer mine reached +55C during the day and it has worked without a flaw. I have left it running on an XP machine with the Reader Pro...
Meade f/3.3 reducer set for f/3 with 30mm spacer, connected to an IR filter insert, then screwed into the DSI. I don't have as much of a problem at f/5. With...
HI Ken, Really very interesting. I went anothr route and just did not order the power adapter as I have plenty of adapters and I am running 2 cales to the...
Testing a new RoboFocus on my Starfire (works great) and put this together over a couple of nights (6hrs total) Seeing was crap but the big moon was no probs...
Hi Bill, The PoE outputs 5 volt. I think there is a 12 volt version too. The brand I use is Linksys and I bought it from Amazon. I have copied beloow a...
Hi all. I have recently been working with a DSI II Pro CCD on an LX90 10 inch ACF which is collimated perfectly for visual observing. In most of my images,...
Ken I was thinking of installing a Sky Meter also. Does a PoE come in different voltage outputs? What voltage does the Sky Meter run on? Never heard of a PoE...
Rainer, Thanks for that information. What you say makes a lot of sense. I plan to run it on a separate machine that will also run the lightning detection, ...
Hi Gary, Actually the opposite. The weather underground data comes from the site. The site is in a remote area about 250 miles from where I live, but it has...
Keith, I posted some pics, see other posts. One thing to consider for the housing if you live in cold or wet environment. See if you can get a housing that...
Hola Rainer, I have missed your good humor, but I still lurk over at Losmandy! Anthony over at Unihedron has a design for an enclosure, which it looks like he...
Hi Chris, The SQM-LE when it is running produces itself some heat so if you want to use it only when the roof is open I would dare to say that you will not...
Thanks, Rainer. I will contact Anthony. I was wondering if it could tolerate being exposed over a clear night of imaging despite dew formation or does it need...
... Rainer, to directly hookup a SQM-LE to a computer all you need is a cross-over ethernet cable. Either make you own or buy one at the store. If the meter...
Hi, Anthony from SQM send me a PDF showing how he did it. Just ask him. I am at the moment testing the SQM-LE and with some tibing laying around I will make an...
Hi Ken, In the Envisage software program, once you start it with a DSI camera attached and have the "Live" image running, you'll see a label at the top-left of...
Ken, Interesting site. Have you any pictures of the sky quality meter installation and how you weather proof it? Any general shots of your observatory? Chris...
Hi Ken, Nice to see you here :-) I am waiting for the delivery of one SQM-LE unit. How difficult is it to install the device via Ethernet cable ? How did you...
Hello Ken, I have the original SQM version and have just ordered the SQM-LE for permanent installation in my observatory. I was wondering what how you have...
