Meade's DSI ?Posted By Ivan Gastaldo |
Hello Eric! 8)
I used to have one, so I'll tell you what I think...
The DSI is NOT bad at all, but it is not as easy as they picture it...
Unless you have experience in the DSO imaging world, it will be a long/steep/frustrating curve... (not the camera's fault, but a combination of variables, like equipment, software, weather conditions, object you are imaging, etc, etc)
As a note, my skies suck down here, and light pollution gets in the way "big time", so that is part of my problem too... if you have dark skies, then you might be in a better position.
Anyways, might want to check Yahoo Groups, as they have some dedicated to the DSI, and might find more info about it...
Good luck, and clear skies!
P.S.
Here's one of my best shots with it... in B/W...
