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.
