Photos using my Meade DSI


As with my other pages... I don't have a dark sky or a fixed observatory at home, so pictures taken at my home will be through the orange streetlight glare and on a mount set up in about 10 mins!.


Jupiter, below was taken with the DSI and a Meade 6inch SN scope on the 27th Sept 2011.
Jupiter and moons - meade dsi
Palus Nebularum - meade dsi
The above image is from my back garden, and shows the Palus Nebularum region on the moon. Its is a stich of 2 DSI images taken on 26th March 2007. The DSI is not really intended for this sort of work, but it makes an easy testbed while I get used to how it works.
M57 The Ring Nebula - meade dsi
This image of the Ring Nebula M57 was taken through thin cloud on Wed 29th Aug 2007 at approx 11:30 pm with the DSI on my LX90 in the back garden of my house. It is my first real attempt at deep sky photography with the DSI and as such, I am quite pleased with it. It was 120 stacked images (auto stacked in the DSI software).
M57 The Ring Nebula - meade dsi
This image of the Ring Nebula M57 was taken on the 3rd Sept 2007. It was 12 stacked images (auto stacked in the DSI software) but now I made the DSI take longer exposures , take 'dark fames' and auto subtract them. I dind't get the mount as well aligned however.
M57 The Ring Nebula - meade dsi
One more go of the Ring Nebula M57 - taken Oct 2007. It was 30 stacked images (auto stacked in the DSI software) with 30 secs exposures , 'dark fames' and auto subtraction.
