Peter O'Brien writes of his Deep
Sky Imager and his 10" Meade LX200:
“I admit
that when I purchased Meade’s new Deep Sky Imager I was
more than a little skeptical. I was hoping for success, but
preparing for frustration. When I saw the advertisement for
Meade’s new Deep Sky Imager I was lured by the promise
of beautiful images at a non-astronomical price. I was one of
the first to purchase the DSI and let me say that, “I’m
sold!” I was able to capture incredible images my first
night out with my Meade 10" LX200. I imaged M33 in 15 seconds.
I could even see the nucleus on the screen in live mode. The
rest of the night I let AutoStar find dozens of objects, some
I had never seen before. Like most people I live close to an
urban center. On the very best of nights only a pale smudge
hints at the location of the Milky Way. The DSI allows me now
to image objects like the Dumbell and Ring nebulas in real time
- large and in color right from my backyard. Deep sky imaging
is finally easy and affordable. The DSI has reignited my passion
for astronomy.” |
