Hi Ken, I also gave up on using DSI Pro as the imagining camera. Two days ago I spend whole night comparing DSI to GStar and it become obvious it is not worth of bother to try imagining with DSI. With 1.5 min exposure I cannot capture stars I can see clearly in 26mm eyepiece. With GStar 2.6 sec exposure I can get image that would take many minutes of exposure with DSI.
But on other hand I’m quite happy with auto guiding capabilities of DSI. With Autostar controlled mount (and I got two of them) it works with Envisage – no other software or bits and pieces required. It needs fairly bright star to guide on mainly because with ETX-105 I have to set exposure to 0.005 sec to keep guide star centred. I’m sure that with EQ5 mount fitted with Autostar it will guide well.
