DSI first light
Yesterday, after I picked up the much anticipated DSI which had been on order for nearly five months. I tried imaging Jupiter with it. This was after I had imaged it with the LPI. I have to say that while I found the the unit itself quite impressive looking, neither its performance for planetary work or the software was impressive.
The DSI may have problems with imaging planets. Even at .088 of a second the image was burnt out and virtually useless. And the software was well very clunky. Just tacked onto the LPI program. Seems like a bit of a rush job to me. Not terribly impressed at this stage. I will report when I have done some deep sky stuff. And hopefully after this week I will have sorted the bugs out with the planetary stuff.
