Meade Camera Deep Sky Imager DSI IV Mono
Item description:


Meade has revised its acclaimed Deep Sky Imager (DSI) camera series, offering Version IV advanced technology for virtually all astrophotography needs: a powerful Panasonic 16MP CMOS sensor, a controlled two-stage thermoelectric cooling system for low-noise long exposures, and 3.8µm small pixels for detailed imaging. The DSI-IV is thus a true general-purpose camera for photographing the Moon, planets, nebulae and galaxies (DeepSky) - and, by the way, it is lightweight, so that even smaller eyepiece focusers and mounts can safely support the camera.

The DSI-IV is a true all-around worry-free camera:

The integrated DDRAM memory and USB 3.0 interface ensure the lowest noise data transfer imaginable, and at 23fps at full resolution for planetary photography!
The latest version of the Meade SkyCapture acquisition software eliminates the need for additional programs. The software runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
USB 2.0 Hub: Two USB ports on the camera can be used to power additional accessories, such as a filter wheel and focusing motor.
The camera can be connected to the telescope either via the T2 thread (M42x0.75) or via the supplied 2" socket.
The accessories include the power supply for cooling and the USB 3.0 cable as well as a sturdy carrying case.



The DSI-IV is a camera that is not only ideal for beginners of astrophotography, but also provides many years of enjoyment!

Color or Mono? Black and white cameras have the advantage of higher sensitivity and resolution over color cameras. However, the effort for a color image is higher: you need color filters and a fiterwheel.
