Hi,

It's being long time I couldn't play with my astrogear as I was away for 2 and 1/2 months. last night took this two pics of M13 and M27 from Singapore.
Camera: Meade Dsi pro
Telescope: 80ED
Mount : EQ-G sirius
Filter: LP2

Hi Kimo & Kelvin, i am going to use the cooled version of this cam to shoot ngc 6744 from either my house or Bedok South, those many shots i had taken using DSLR were "drown" & only can see the core (see attached pics, ngc 6744 is at approx higher left center position), hope this cam can see something.

Thanks for comments. I had re modified the camera to deep cold and added some other devices. each exposure were 2 to 2.5 mins and total of one hour +.

I can share some devices pics. it is still under testing. it was before cooling start, 31.9c is the camera box internal temp, 30.8c is inside CCD temp. 41% humidity inside the camera.

I just wanted to share with you all. last night i took two pics of M51 and NGC6888 nebula, too bad M51 was distructed by carpark light. all are one hr total exposure time. require more exp to have nice pics.

Last night I took M57, Optics 80mm, DSI COL, NO peltier cooling.
Exposure : Each frame 2min X 13 , 2.49min X 14, total over an hr.

I am having some problem with WCS Polar alignment. I must select star alt below 45deg, Az 20 to 95deg. I had setup my telescope inside the room so limited stars for polar alignment. Any one facing the same problem? Any tips to do it perfectly?
