Hi Bob,

Yes, congratulations on your new entry into CCD VSO!  I am excited about taking that first step myself.

Could you provide some insight into your experience using the DSI-1?  It seems like a most affordable way of getting into CCD, but I was curious as to its possible limitations for use in CCD VSO, if any.

Thanks,
Sal Giambruno (GSA)

Hello,

I just got up and going with a Meade DSI 1 Monochrome ($129), V-filter 
and F/3.3 focal reducer for my 8" LX-200 and after submitting my second 
observation realized I need to develop a way to keep track of what I've 
submitted.  For these two observations I just printed out the photometry 
reduction file but don't think this will scale well once I get to where 
I'd like to be.  I'm sure I could pull them from WebOps if I get 
confused, but was thinking of a master spreadsheet, copying the relevant 
info from the reduction file.  Any tried and true methods out there?

Thanks,
