Deep-Sky Imaging for everyone is here. Dive in.
The camera sees what the eye cannot .
If you’ve been around telescopes for more than ten minutes, you understand the limitations of the human eye
to detect color and detail in very faint objects. The key to unlocking the visual wonders of the universe in all
their grandeur is astrophotography. Until recently, photographing the night sky was reserved for professionals
and a few patient (and often well-to-do) amateurs. But no more. User-friendly and affordable Meade imagers
have brought the joys of astrophotography to all.
Astrophotography made easy.
™
Considering astrophotography has a reputation for difficulty somewhere between rocket science and brain
surgery, “easy” may be a relative term. But when Sky & Telescope magazine says, “…I could get very
encouraging results just by using the camera’s default settings and following Meade’s simple tutorial for basic
deep-sky imaging,” you know it’s a great time to be alive. Technology has flattened another learning curve.
Making the impossible, possible.
The astrophotographs on the following pages were taken by backyard astronomers just like you. Yes, some of
them have been practicing with their equipment for a while. In that sense it’s just like learning to use any other
new tech device. Or playing a musical instrument. But most of those astrophotographers, spent hundreds, not
thousands on their cameras. And all of them are having a wonderful time. Buy your LPI, DSI or DSI II, and start
imaging tonight.
