Beginer with CCD

Ok guys I know I should be in the newbe group but I need to know if any one can tell me when using a wedge with a LX 90 and a CCD should I not use the drizzle filter? I took pictures with out the drizzle because I could not get the connection to work with the telescope. And there was no rotation. I found out later the imaging software could not connect because I had to disconnect Autostarsuite first. I took pictures using the drizzle when I could connect and the pictures had rotation of the nebula? And when taking a picture of Saturn it would rotate one way then the other. Looked like an atom when it was done. I wonder if I am drawing the box wrong or should only use one box? I looked at all your pictures and they are so fantastic! I only have an 8" but hopeful I can get a few good shots with practice. I do need a 3.3 focal reducer.
Also after only about 34 pictures it seems to stop by it self? IS that because my PC is to slow maybe? I was told to get Star ware the book but haven't yet.

Can't wait till the sky clears and I can get back to this.

Thanks Dan

Are you using DSI pro? You may need to update your software via Meades site. I think the Drissle technology should work with or with out a wedge since its a image rotation function, it doesn't move the scope.

Hi Dan,

I highly recommend the Yahoo DSI user group. There are a lot of people there that will help a lot.

Drizzle has 2 aspects - one to deal with field rotation, the other to create a larger mosaic picture. The field rotation is not a problem for you, since you are on a wedge. The drizzle mode to create a mosaic will move the scope in increments to create a larger image. The secon one I described only works with Meade mounts - not a problem for you, but a no-go with my Celestron scope.

Hope this helps,
