Canon 20D vs. Meade Deep Sky Imager - Sensitivity

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Gene, IMHO we are comparing apples & oranges here... the DSI cannot compare to the multiple capabilities of the DSLR cameras mentioned here.
Yes, the DSI could be a bit more sensitive, but the image resolution is 1/5th or less of what the DSLRs offer, that's why they cost many times more than the DSI.
Not to mention that you can use the DSLRs anywhere, anytime, for many purposes.

They both have their pros and cons, but if I had $1500+ to spend, I would get a DSLR, or a better CCD camera.

The DSI IS a very entry level CCD camera, and I'm still to see any shots from it that will satisfy me. (NOTE: mine should be arriving next week, then I'll put it through the tests) but I like challenge, and that's why I'm getting it... as I want to see if I can produce something better that what I've seen so far.


Clear skies, and good luck!

Jupiter and the Sun 11/11/04

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Great shots Paul, specially the Sun one, looks very 3D!
On the Jupiter one it seems like the seeing was affecting you quite a bit, but you managed to capture the GRS and other detail, well done!


Thank for sharing, and clear skies!!

Amazing detail Wes!
I'm simply amazed at how beautifully round & perfect some of these craters look...

How do you like the 18"? seems to be performing beautifully!
