Hi John

The maximum exposure of the LPI using the Meade Autostarsuite software is 16 seconds. I have found this to be inadequate for DSO's through my 4" refractor, but also have seen results from others using 'scopes in the 8" to 12" range and again, these did not look really good.

The LPI is as the name suggests a Lunar & Planetary Imager which for the price is an easy and relatively pain free way to break into digital imaging. If I remember rightly, H0ughy may have an almost new LPI for sale? Why not PM him?

I really enjoy using the LPI on the Moon and Planets. It is so easy to set up and use compared to my SBIG ST7E.

Cheers

Dennis
