Hi Kel; I believe the most logical step in the progression is Sony's 2/3" chip. Both the color and the monochrome ccd versions are readily available. It is the...
Hello all :) I've been using this software for some time now - (not with the DSI) but I have 3 friends who are using the DSI's). You can run Envisage to image...
I'd love to see a camera which comes with a nose-mounted screw-in focal reducer, maybe HA/O III or sky glow filters as well as RGB, and better sealing so...
