I though I should start off another blog about my forays into CCD astro-imaging since the last blog about it was growing way out of proportion. And since all I have been doing of late is investing heaps of time into getting the 'system' to work properly, I felt it was time I paid particular attention to documenting the ups and downs of this wonderful and cheap (well its pretty cheap as it is only available on the used market now. Meade does not make them anymore! Download Saints Row 4 Highly Compressed there. ) CCD camera. As I have mentioned numerous times across many blogs, we live in the golden age of astronomy gear. The influx of products from the east has made everything so affordable. There is absolutely no excuse now not to get into the complex world of astrophotography, be it afocal or prime focus.

So without further ado, let me introduce this wonderous little marvel of a camera we call the Meade DSI. The Meade DSI One shot color CCD camera was introduced in late 2004. It was a breakthrough product for Meade, much like what Celestron did with their NexImage Planetary and Lunar camera. Several things had it going for the camera. Firstly it was, as mentioned previously cheap. Secondly it had the desirable Sony Super HAD Color CCD sensor, which was heaps sensitive for fainter DSO's. And thirdly it required no external power.

Drawbacks included a smaller chip, no active cooling and getting it to work properly with some operating systems was a bear (according to early reports). Also it has an IR chip that is easy to break if you unscrew the 1. Download Dog Days Season 1 Subtitle Indonesia. 25' nosepiece frequently and Meade's Autostar software does not work with Mac's. To use the DSI with Mac's, you will have to either download VW ware and run Window's in the Mac, or use a third party capture software such as Stark Lab's Nebulosity.

Thankfully I came onto the astrophotography scene late and most of these teething problems have been solved one way or another by other fellow astronomers. Another plus point coming in late was that these are now available for even cheaper on the used market for beginner astrophotographers like me. Briefly here are the specs. Meade also boldly proclaims 'Take pictures like these your first night out' on its colorful box showing images of M20, M51 and NGC 891. Although not entirely true, learning how to use the camera is not all that difficult. The image capture software bundled with the CCD camera is pretty spiffy. If you have a Meade telescope, Autostar can drive your scope for you.

If not all is not lost. Together with Autostar is the Autostar Suite that includes everything required for image capture and processing.

In fact Autostar Envisage is able to do 'in-house' everything for you from dark frame subtraction to image stacking. Spiffy indeed. All one has to do is master its not so user friendly controls. I have discussed its controls in a rather detailed fashion in the, including comparisons with Stark Lab's Nebulosity.

Note that there are now 3 versions of the Meade DSI's available. As of writing, none of them are currently in production so you have to get them used online, like I got mine. All three (actually more like six since for every DSI, there is a one shot color version and a monochrome pro version with filter slide) share the same metal convective body. The only difference lies in its chip size. The original Meade DSI, the one I currently use has the smallest chip by far, coming in at a miniscule 648x488 pixels. DSI II has a slightly larger chip, not by much though 748x577 pixels (apparently they are the same as the current Orion Starshoot G3 deep space color imaging camera so if you want to buy new, this is the option).
