Meade - CCD Cameras

Deep Sky Imager II™ The user-friendly astrophotography
revolution continues. Introducing the new DSI II. 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 new
zoom feature for easier focusing and the squared pixels of the new larger
chip make processing simpler and images more beautiful than ever. The DSI
II is the world's first un-cooled camera with low thermal noise. And that's
as cool as it gets.

Meade's exciting new LPI (Lunar Planetary Imager) can be used on any
telescope for making images! It's VGA resolution (640x480) color CMOS
chip is capable of creating high-quality lunar and planetary images, as
well as daytime terrestrial images. And with the capability to make long
exposures, you can digitally capture bright deep sky objects with the LPI
system that only costs a fraction of a typical astronomical CCD imager
system.
