Default My first digital Deepsky image.

Congratulations! Nice image.

We are still waiting for a clear night so we can fiddle with our LPI for
the first time. The LPI says it works similar to a 6mm EP for
magnification, does the DSI have a standard setting for magnification or
are you able to set that option as well as exposure and other stuff?

Well done again!
LeAnne


Hi LeAnne.

The DSI is almost exactly the same as the LPI in the way that it works (well
the User Interface anyway). The difference is that it allows exposures up
to about a minute. I think it's also like a 6mm EP.

I did try using it to capture an image of Jupiter, the seeing was too bad.
There was no way that I could get a 1/2 decent image. From this point of
view, I'm going to stick with my TuCam for planetery imaging.
