Blooming Jupiter?Posted By Ivan Gastaldo |
David, I would recommend to you to become a member of the following group, which is dedicated to the DSI and all that's related to it:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Deep-Sky-Imager
I personally had one of them, and enjoyed using it for a bit, but found it somewhat difficult & not consistent for planetary work. The results were never as good as what you would get with a Vesta Pro or a Toucam Pro II webcam...
The DSI is a good entry level DSO Imager, but believe me when I say that I much rather use my $75 webcam for the Planets...
I'm in no way putting down the DSI, as I believe it is a good way to get acquainted with all that is part of CCD DSO Imaging... and has allowed people to do it with little investment, which I think it is great...
Clear skies, and good luck! 8)

Understanding Magnification?Posted By Ivan Gastaldo |
Dave is right...
Bill, could you please let us know what scopes were these, their focal lengths and what eyepieces you tried?
A difference in the FOV size could also make you "believe" that one was larger than the other..., but we need more information in order to understand what happened here, since 200x in a 3" scope and in a 20" scope is always 200x, so it should be the same "size"...

Excellent shot Jim, wonderful detail & colors!
How about a mass producing SC3 webcams business?
Simply amazing!

Jupiter from May 22 and 23, 2005Posted By Ivan Gastaldo |
Nice going Paul! 8)
Must be nice to be able to image "almost" every day!
I'm sure with my luck, if I try to wheel out my scope, the one and only cloud in the sky will park right on top of my house, and rain!
(Been cloudy/hot/muggy/rainy/full of mosquitoes down here for quite a bit now...)

C/2004 Q2 Machholz sprouted a longer tailPosted By Ivan Gastaldo |
Great shot Dennis!
Amazing how long the tail has become compared to what it used to be a couple of months ago...
How would you consider the tail to be "visually" talking? is it too faint to be really detected by the eye? can you see more than just a blurry spot, now that the tail is expanding?
Thanks for the hard work, and keep it up!

Jupiter and animation from May 24, 2005Posted By Ivan Gastaldo |
Nice show Paul! 8)
What are the details on the animation? about how far apart are the frames?
Thanks for sharing!

Death of a CoolpixPosted By Ivan Gastaldo |
Mark, as far as I understood the 4500 was pretty much the same camera as the 995, with a couple of minor differences... (I remember looking at their specs a long while ago...)
