Really nice image, Ted! Blooms are a real pain, and you did a great job dealing with them. Looks like focus was a tad soft...that can be next year's shot
I'll have -far- more information for you on this one...I'm one of the testers for it. On paper, it should beat the DSI by a bit...we'll see it it translates to the sky, though
"Live" is all relative...Most would consider "Live" video to be 15 frames/sec. Even if the DSI could do that, you wouldn't see much of anything. If you did 1 frame every 5 sec, you may see a noisy fuzz blob, possibly with a hint of structure depending on your f/ratio. 30 seconds to a minute, you'll get some color and structure. 1-2 minutes, you're looking pretty good.
Is 1 frame every 30 seconds "Live"? Well, it's better than film for sure. It's all a matter of semantics, I guess.
Looks promising! Again, the colors are a bit off, but the detail's not bad...Seeing can be a huge influence at this image scale, so you may not have been able to get much better.
Looks like you've captured some great data there. I feel for you on the filters for the Pro...They just aren't right. May want to call Meade about them and see if they can't provide a new set or something...let me know if you need some backup.
The detail you were able to get is great! Good work!
Finally had a clear night to play with my 140 and St-10XME...Here's the fruits of last night. Check out the link for a full size image...lots of galaxies to see!
