How To: Take astronomical photos with Meade's Deep Sky Imager

All you science and astronomy nuts out there, pay attention, this detailed video tutorial series will tell you everything you need to know about capturing digital photos with the Meade Deep Sky Imager. The universe is out there, and you can take a picture of it.

The user-friendly astrophotography revolution continues with the Meade DSI (Digital Sky Imager). It combines ease-of-use with a larger chip, greater sensitivity, higher resolution, and dramatically lower thermal noise. Meade engineers have invented a remarkable new way to reduce noise without a cooler. This means you can take exposures for hours at a time. And the new thermal monitoring sensors automatically match your dark frames to ambient temperature so it's nearly impossible to take an uncalibrated picture. The software includes a zoom feature for easier focusing and the squared pixels of the larger chip make processing simpler and images more beautiful than ever. The Meade DSI is the world's first un-cooled camera with low thermal noise. And that's as cool as it gets.
