Thanks to everyone for joining the new group. Looks like Meade has done it again and has a nice new product coming out in this new DSI Camera. Hopefully,...
Saw these this morning, VERY NICE!!!. Especially considering the price of the camera, gonna be hard to beat. Steve Hamilton ... From: Jeremy Jackson...
I can't wait, either. Those are real nice and the process should be effortless like the LPI for the most part. I suppose we could image the planets with the...
The OPT web site has a letter from Steve Murdock, the President and CEO of Meade Instruments, with some additional info on the DSI. The neat little toy is air...
The Astronomics add indicates that the new DSI uses the Sony Super HAD color CCD sensor with a resolution of 510 x 492. The following link has a listing of the...
From looking at the specs, I believe the chip is the ICX404AK, here is the link: http://www.sony.co.jp/~semicon/english/img/sony01/a6804211.pdf Stephen P....
Hi Stephen, the Sony spec chart is some what confusing in that the legend under the "Product Name" with *1 implies that these are the only chips with the Super...
Hi All, I've already essentially sent this to the autostarsuit yahoogroup, but I've changed it a bit, so here goes. I'm wondering about one aspect of Meade's...
Hello all, I have joined up as I love new toys! I will purchase when the DSI becomes available in Australia.....in the next year! Look forward to seeing what...
Welcome aboard Matt. Well, hopefully it won't be that long LOL. Stephen P. Hamilton http://astro.hcadvantage.com 36° 45' 28" , -76° 15' 40" ... From:...
I assume it will read the raw (non-interpolated) image, which will only be 16bits per pixel. I would hope the PC software would do the interpolation of the...
Good evening! Mark from Florida........ I just bought an Meade LPI when I saw the announce of the new Meade DSI camera. Can't wait for a review once they...
Hello all, I am a Japanese Meade ETX user. Thank you for everyone consideration. Regards, ... Yoshikatsu Kida http://etx.galaxies.jp/ http://astronomy.jp/...

I have been following the LPI from its announcement but I was not convinced of its capabilities compared to what I had allready (modified or not webcams &...
Hi All, In my earlier posting concerning the amount of data that has to be shifted around, I should have also included concerns about autoguiding. Bill Alford,...
Hi Rick, ... I can't see how your are going to go from 16bits/pixel to 48bits/pixel without some vital losses. Given what Meade has said in their ad, they ...
I have just spoken to some people at telescope house (meade distributers in the UK) and they have only seen the stuff on the web and have had no info from...
Sylvain, The Meade DSI will work anywhere the telescope and computer will work. A more relevant question is what computer OS, other than WIndows, is...
The way most one-shot CCDs work is that each pixel has a single color filter over it, typically in an RGB Bayer pattern where there are 2 greens for every red...
One quick correction...it looks like the chip is a CMY rather than an RGB color matrix. This help increase sensitivity a little, but generally makes color...
Hello Everyone, glad to be here. I think this question has already been addressed here, but I am way too not tech-savvy to have followed it. I was planning on...
Hi Russ, As far as I know, the DSI can be used for solar system objects. I would go with the DSI first. I can give you a good deal on the LPI....... ;>) Bob...
