Finally received my long awaited DSI Pro on Monday
After installing the software, I dragged out the scope for a quick test to check it was working OK. What a drama that was! I'm surprised the image turned out as well as it did.
I was too impatient to read the software instructions. The laptop I have is a Pentium 3 running Windoze 98 and only has USB 1.1 ports. This meant the 'Live' preview screen refreshed once every 2 seconds. and the image that was there was full of interlacing artefacts due to not having tracking and the moon moving rapidly through the view.
I somehow managed to get a half decent focus and got the software to get 13 images from a single pass of the moon through the field of view (don't ask me how I did it though
)
Here is my result de-interlaced and stacked in Registax. I'm happy with it given all the dramas.
What I really need is an adapter so I can hook up the DSI to my old Minolta lenses from my film SLR and use my barndoor mount to do some widefields, until such a time that I can get an EQ6 and do some serious imaging
.
