For a limited time you can get the imager that shattered the astrophotography learning curve for just $269-00 (reg. $679-00). When you purchase a qualifying Meade telescope. The DSI PRO is a high performance, monochrome CCD imager that allows novice and intermediate astronomers to shoot stunning images of galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, comets planets even the Sun. All images below are actual photographs taken by amateurs with the DSI PRO and Autostar Suite software (included). The DSI PRO works with any telescope, and includes many exclusive features like NASA's Drizzle technology (which increases the resolution and quadruples the size of your astrophotographs). Deep sky astrophotography has never been so easy. Or so affordable. Hurry. Offer good while stocks last. Available at BINTEL stores.
CCD Filters are available for $169-00 (reg. $349-00) during this special.
MONOCHROME CCD ASTRO-IMAGER
The DSI Pro is a high-performance, easy-to-use
monochrome CCD camera that allows every astronomer to shoot and process
stunning deep sky photographs of galaxies, nebulae, star clusters and planets.
This CCD camera is designed with the intermediate to advanced amateur astrophotographer
in mind. Purchase the Deep Sky Imager PRO with our high quality RGB filter
set and produce stunning RGB and LRGB images.
High Sensitivity Monochrome CCD Sensor from Sony
® - The Meade Deep Sky Imager utilizes Sony's ExView HAD™ Monochrome
CCD Image Sensor Technology for incredible low noise and higher dynamic
range featuring a 16-Bit A/D converter.
USB 2.0 High Speed - Featuring a fast USB 2.0
High Speed connection. This will allow fast data transfer. The actual download
time for daytime or planetary imaging is up to 5 frames per second. For
longer exposures the download time is 1/2 a second in order to sustain
a higher signal-to-noise ratio. There is virtually no delay between the
time the image is taken and when it appears on your computer screen. The
Deep Sky Imager PRO is also backward compatible with USB 1.1

NEW FEATURES EXCLUSIVE TO DSI PRO
Drizzle – Drizzle was developed by NASA for processing images from the Hubble Space Telescope. Drizzle will work on any AutoStar Controlled Telescope. There are 3 enhancements that drizzle adds:
1. Increased resolution. By taking
a series of course pixel grid images from the DSI and applying them to
a fine pixel grid image we are able increase the effective resolution better
then interpolation.
2. Extended View. Images are added
to a final image that is up to 2 times bigger horizontally and vertically.
The Telescope is then guided to the 4 corners of the image giving a final
image that is nearly 4 times larger.
3. Field De-Rotation. By selecting
2 stars, the software will rotate each image before it is applied to the
final image.
Multiple Imager Operation - AutoStar Suite will now support any number
of Deep Sky Imager and one LPI. You can now use a separate guide scope
and Deep Sky Imager as well as have one for prime focus and wide field.
Any of the imagers can be selected for guiding. The only limitation is
computer speed and memory and available USB ports. A 2Ghz machine with
512 MBs of memory can easily run 3 Deep Sky Imagers.
Convection Cooled - In order to draw heat away
from the CCD sensor Meade uses a proprietary "Convection Cooling" design,
allowing longer exposures with less noise.
No Batteries Required - Just plug the Deep Sky
Imager's USB 2.0 High Speed cable into your laptop and you are ready to
image or autoguide. No other power supplies are needed.
Versatile - Deep Sky Imager works on any telescope
and can also be used as a sensitive and simple-to-use Autoguider.
